South Africa and Lesotho

Justine Shapiro's journey begins in the cosmopolitan city of Cape Town on the west coast of South Africa. She explores the township of Robben Island and visits a Sanoma-a south African faith healer. She stays with an African family in Laingsaburg and rides an ostrich in Oudtshoorn. After going deep-sea fishing in Coffee Bay on the Wild Coast, Justine arrives in South Africa's third largest city, Durban. The next destination is the Zulu homeland north of Durban, where she attends a Zulu ritual and talks with a young Zulu about the history of his warrior tribe. Justine journeys on into the mountain kingdom of Lesotho. A country in itself, it has its own language, culture and currency. From Lesotho Justine travels down to the South African border, reaching Ficksburg and Rustlers Valley.
