CGTN begins a new special series out of South Africa from 18 July, which is Nelson Mandela Day. We take a look at the progress the country has made since gaining freedom in 1994, but also explore the challenges that remain. South Africa: Beyond the Rainbow looks at several topics and challenges: from liberation and persistent inequality to violence against women; xenophobia and the history of unique communities in the country; and the role that the arts play in healing wounds, and getting us thinking.
