Mandela and After: South Africa 25 years on - Poverty

The New South Africa will be 25 years old in the spring this year. The black-majority country was liberated from 40 years minority white rule in 1994, with the first democratic elections in April that year.

In the final report of his series, Hugh Sykes reports from South Africa, which the World Bank described as "one of the most unequal countries in the world'.
