Episode twenty-three - institutionalised racism and its affect on African lives.

In 1948 a new nationalist party came to power in South Africa on a ticket of strict racial segregation. How did apartheid, and its pseudo scientific notions of superiority and inferiority, affect the daily lives of Africans? And how was it overcome?

"There were symbols of apartheid, simple things, at a train station and there was a metal desk for black people, and then a few metres down, another desk, a nice desk, voor blanken, for whites only, they were supposed to be comfortable." Ephraim Ngowi.
