As South Africa adopts affirmative action policies, we profile some of the black people who have overcome racial inequality. Half of South Africa’s 30 million black population live below the poverty line. Despite this depressing statistic, a few break the trend. Having acquired his wealth during apartheid, businessman Richard Maponya is the richest black person in the country. Emerging from his opulent villa of eleven years he reflects on the turbulent times and his success in gatecrashing the horse racing set.
