South Africa is a complex and changing country that is still dealing with a legacy of racial division. It was only 15 years ago that the system of apartheid ended, and since then many of the racial barriers have been broken down, if not forgotten.
But a gap still exists today between have and have-nots, and many of the poor are black. They may be equal on paper, but because of impoverished conditions, many still feel unequal.
Worldfocus special correspondent Martin Seemungal takes look at the new South Africa, beginning in Soweto, a former black township in Johannesburg that came to symbolize the repressive old days.
