Soweto
Clive experiences the South African crazes for car spinning and car wash parties and meets the granddaughter of Nelson Mandela, the man who inspired him to become a journalist.
Clive kicks off his adventure in South Africa, where 20 years ago he worked as a 麻豆社 correspondent. Sometimes called the rainbow nation for its colourful mix of cultures and languages, South Africa covers nearly half a million square miles and is home to over 60 million people. It鈥檚 a land of sophisticated cities, spectacular wildlife, brilliant beaches - and great complexity.
When Clive worked here, he was based in the city of Johannesburg. For this visit, Clive is focusing on Soweto, South Africa鈥檚 biggest and most famous township, which lies just outside the city.
Clive gets dizzy as he jumps into the South African craze for car spinning at the Soweto Drift Academy. His old 麻豆社 mate Milton Nkosi introduces him to Ndileka Mandela, the activist granddaughter of Nelson Mandela, the man who inspired Clive to become a journalist, over a traditional spicy South Africa lunch of chakalaka. Clive also picks up some amapiano moves as he parties Soweto style at a car wash and helps create one of Soweto鈥檚 famous murals.
