Into the South African Heartland

This is a travelogue. The author makes an extraordinary journey with friends to the Western Cape, South Africa. As he probes into the country’s tinted history. What impresses him are not just its friendly people, natural beauty, safari animals and marine life, but also the spirit of national reconciliation by the great Nelson Mandela, who endured twenty-seven years of imprisonment. The writer realises there is another person who played a significant role in ending the white-minority democracy.
