Journalist, author and anti-apartheid campaigner Rian Malan , in the second of this new six-part series, wrestles with his country's troubled past and increasingly uncertain future as he takes a journey spanning South Africa. 
With its own police force and welfare service, South African Railways once represented the nerve centre of the apartheid state, but as a result of the political upheaval, the network is now crumbling. 
On his trip, Malan visits the torched remains of Mahatma Gandhi 's commune on the outskirts of Durban, and Johannesburg, a city with the highest murder rate in the world. His journey is completed in the Lost City, a luxurious fantasy world in Bophuthatswana, where life remains sweet for the white man with money.
