Episode synopsis
Waldemar starts his journey through Africa in Cape Town. He delves into the history of South Africa and discovers that the role the Dutch played there may be different than what we learn at school in the Netherlands. He meets black, colored and white Africans and hears the different visions of what the 'rainbow nation' South Africa should become. Will they be able to work it out together? And to move beyond their own origins? And also about 'your white guilt', as Waldemar himself is told? He finds out that riding a motorcycle in these parts is not easy when he has a hard crash. And then they have to travel another 16,000 kilometers to Cairo.
