Former Neo-Nazi Angela King left prejudice behind when she was jailed for a hate crime

Former Neo-Nazi Angela King spoke to Jo Fidgen about leaving prejudice behind when she was jailed for a hate crime.

When Angela King went to prison in the United States for armed robbery, she had a problem. It wasn't just that she was facing years behind bars, it was that she was covered in racist tattoos from her days as a Neo-Nazi. As many of the women she would be living with were black, Angela had to choose, she'd either have to hide herself away the whole time, or own up to who she had been and face the consequences.

Syrian Jalal Aro runs a rather unusual museum in Paris about the history of recorded sound. It's full of phonographs - early machines that used cylinders to play sound - as well as gramophones, record players and turntables. Outlook's Emily Webb went to meet him.

South Africa's newest deputy Chief Justice, Judge Raymond Zondo, has had a glittering legal career. But his beginnings were very humble, and he says he might not be where he is today were it not for the generosity of a stranger. He spoke to Outlook's Mpho Lakaje.

New Zealander Geoff Marsland is an experienced sailor. Last month, he and three friends were sailing to the Pacific island of Tonga, when the weather shifted and pushed them off course. Geoff and the team soon found themselves stranded on a remote reef.
