The last of six programmes A Terrible Chemistry
The writer: Nadine Gordimer author of Burger's Daughter, The Conservationist - one of the most highly regarded authors in Africa and South Africa's leading novelist.
The place: Johannesburg and its surrounding veldt - a landscape composed of rich farmland and richer mines, that has become in her books an expression of the personal relations of human beings under apartheid.
'It's not only nature that determines the relation of people to where they live. It's also politics. Just as this city draws people from all backgrounds, of all colours, in defiance of all social barriers, so it produces a social chemistry, terrible and marvellous.' Written and narrated by NADINE GORDIMER
