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
