Three decades after the momentous transition from Apartheid to a democratic South Africa, Fergal Keane returns to see what happened to the hopes and promises of a better nation. In a famous speech thirty years ago, as he collected the Nobel Peace Prize, Nelson Mandela spoke of a 鈥渃ommon humanity鈥 in which all South Africans would live 鈥渓ike the children of paradise.鈥 In this second episode, in which Fergal Keane and Milton Nkosi re-visit some of the places and people they encountered 30 years ago, they return to KwaZulu-Natal. In the early 1990s, leading up to the country's first democratic elections, the area was a hotbed of political violence. What about today? Presenter: Fergal Keane Producer: John Murphy
