Synopsis: Documentary in the traditions of Michael Apted's 7 Up, following the lives of a group of children in South Africa and offering an insight into life in a country that has gone through momentous change. In 1992, when they turned seven, Nelson Mandela had only been out of prison for two years. By the time they were 14, he had become their president and the regime of apartheid had been consigned to history. Chosen from separate communities, the six characters have had starkly differing life experiences. They are black, white, rich and poor and every seven years they have taken viewers into their lives. Luyanda and Andiswa are from a notorious township outside Cape Town, Katlego's life is among the white hipsters of Johannesburg, Lizette lives in a coal-mining town while Olwethu tries to makes the best of the rural area her husband has taken her to live in. Meanwhile, farm boy Willem Alberts has become a household name, playing rugby for his country.
