Synopsis

Rich in mineral deposits, South Africa has long thrived on its mining industry, though the majority of its wealth has historically accrued to white workers and owners. With the dismantling of apartheid, Black South Africans are now increasingly securing skilled positions within the gold mines. The final installment of this series follows Xoliswa Vanda and Putswa Tekane as they pursue aspirations for improved employment in an industry facing potential decline. *Africa, Pt. 8: Southern Treasures*
