South Africa is marking 30 years of democracy this year, reflecting on the remarkable transition from apartheid that captivated the world.

The BBC’s Nomsa Maseko embarks on a personal journey, starting from the polling station she accompanied her mother to in April 1994, to meet the people who fought for South Africa’s freedom, built its democratic institutions, and are seeking to improve their own lives today.
