    About this audiobook

    A sprawling township outside of South Africa's biggest city of Johannesburg has become synonymous with a continued struggle nearly two decades after the end of apartheid. But while many cultural divides still remain, some black South Africans are now turning to ballet, once reserved for wealthy whites. NewsHour Weekend Special Correspondent Martin Seemungal has the story.
