NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Oti Mabuse has said she feels like ‘apartheid is still happening’ as she visited a whites-only town in South Africa in a powerful new BBC documentary.
In Oti Mabuse: My South Africa the former Strictly Come Dancing star returns to her childhood home, to revisit the people and places that inspired her to be the dancer and woman she is today.
On her journey, she meets inspirational people, including musicians, farmers and dancers, contributing to the country’s culture and she delves back into her own family’s dark past under apartheid.
Apartheid was a system of racial segregation, causing the institutionalized oppression of the Black population, that existed in South Africa from 1948 and ended in 1994, thanks to activist Nelson Mandela.
