South Africa

Lerato Mbele travels around Johannesburg to talk to five people from very different walks of life in one of South Africa's most vibrant cities.

As South Africa celebrates 20 years of democracy and freedom, Lerato Mbele meets five South Africans from all walks of life - from a young entrepreneur who makes a living giving guided tours of his township, to an Afrikaans farmer who runs a support group for the victims of violent attacks on farms. All five working lives have been shaped by the momentous events of the past two decades.
