Africa Miracle

South Africa - a beautiful and historically rich country, perplexed by deep racial and tribal struggles, emerged to become Africa's new hope - many call it a Miracle.
In 1994, Nelson Mandela a lawyer who was jailed by the While Apartheid Government for 27 years emerged from his ordeal to become South Africa's first black democratically elected President. Once a terrorist, years he became later a Head of State. The world expected a blood bath of Civil War, reminiscent of Rwanda - instead a modern-day miracle occurred. Millions lined up all day to vote, their voice to be heard for the very first time, not in anger, but in joy . . . . and Peace reigned.

Meet the famous and those hidden history makers. Hear first-hand what really took place. Learn about a plane that was mysteriously re- routed to make possible one of the most critical meetings that averted certain civil war. These and many more dramatic events are addressed in this documentary.

  • This is the story of an African Miracle.

How could a nation so divided, suddenly experience peaceful transition, and how could a nation so divided, suddenly experience peaceful transition and elect a man called Madiba, jailed for 27 years for terrorism become President of a nation?

Amazing events and circumstances, courageous men and women, the destruction of a Wall in Berlin, secret meetings, and public events were just a few of the many things that saved a nation and birthed a Miracle.

The first European to discover South Africa, a Portuguese Explorer named Bartolomeu Diaz called the Southern Cape " The Cape of Storms or Torment". Later the Catholic King John II renamed it "Cape of Good Hope". Was this a prophesy of a coming future for the nation?

The South African story can only really be understood by exploring the Political, Economic and Spiritual perspectives of the struggle. Without weaving the intricate relationship between these three forces, it is impossible to gain a clear understanding of what really happened. This is the first documentary to bring all three forces into one cohesive story.

Nelson Mandela said "Its is not the Kings and Generals that make history, but the masses of the people, the workers, the peasants, the doctors, the lawyers, the clergy, all our people I have seen."

This documentary will explain for the first time what really happened behind the scenes. You will meet the real heroes behind the miracle and hear in their words of what they experienced. We speak to the famous and the hidden history-makers to uncover revelations that even South Africans have never heard.

We explore the origins of Apartheid - why a Christian nation allowed a policy that oppressed and dehumanised an entire race. You will hear how the leader of the Dutch reform Church denounced Apartheid only to be assassinated for his admission. You will hear how Zululand had become like the killing fields of Cambodia experiencing over 20,000 deaths in bloody combat with competing tribes.

  • Was there a secret 3rd force helping Neo Nazi groups like the AWB party who still today carry swastika's as their emblem. And why did the fear of Communism motivate these groups?

  • How was the Church and the Business community involved in brokering peace?
  • What led the Apartheid Government to relinquish leadership over the wealthiest county in Africa?
  • How did a plane that mysteriously developed engine trouble, avert civil war?
