Abstract: It is well known that a smooth projective Fano variety is rationally connected. Recently Zhang (and later Hacon and McKernan as a special case of their work on the Shokurov RC-conjecture) proved that the same conclusion holds for a klt pair $(X,D)$ such that $-(K_X+D)$ is big and nef. We prove here a natural generalization of the above result by dropping the nefness assumption. Namely we show that a klt pair $(X,D)$ such that $-(K_X+D)$ is big is rationally connected modulo the non-nef locus of $-(K_X+D)$. This result is a consequence of a more general structure theorem for arbitrary pairs $(X,D)$ with $-(K_X+D)$ pseff.
