Race and Reconciliation            
Apartheid ended in South Africa fourteen years ago. In these documentaries produced for the BBC World Service, Audrey Brown explores the extent to which race still plays a part in everyday life for those living in South Africa.

FIRST HALF




In January of this year, an 18 year old white farm boy walked into the black settlement of Skierlik in the North West Province and shot dead four people: a mother and the baby on her back, a 10-year-old boy and a man. Audrey Brown travels to Skierlik to explore how racial tensions are quietly erupting - and how the ripples are being felt around the country.
Second Half




Audrey Brown explores the underlying tensions that erupted in violence against foreigners living in South Africa this spring.
