What should I ask Jonny Steinberg?

Yes I will be doing a Conversation with him.  From Wikipedia:

Steinberg was born and raised in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg, South Africa. He was educated at Wits University in Johannesburg, and at the University of Oxford, where he was a Rhodes Scholar and earned a doctorate in political theory. He taught for nine years at Oxford, where he was Professor of African Studies. He currently teaches at Yale University‘s Council on African Studies.

Three of Steinberg’s books – Midlands (2002), about the murder of a white South African farmer, The Number (2004), a biography of a prison gangster, and Winnie & Nelson (2023) – won South Africa’s premier non-fiction prize, the Sunday Times CNA Literary Awards making him the first writer to win it three times.

I am a special fan of Winnie & Nelson, which I consider to be one of the best books of the last ten years.  He is currently working on a biography of Cecil Rhodes.  So what should I ask him?
