Synopsis: As South Africa prepares to celebrate its 20th anniversary of the advent of democracy in 1994, it is hard to believe the ‘Mandela miracle’ very nearly didn't happen. In an orgy of countrywide violence and intimidation, certain groups of people were intent on derailing the country’s first free elections which ended apartheid. At the time, South Africa was on the brink of catastrophe and civil war.
