This is the Spanish version of a movie for the Imp-Act Consortium, a nonprofit organization based in the U.K. that promotes microfinance (loaning money to poor people to start or expand small businesses) as a global anti-poverty strategy. It promotes the practice among microfinance organizations of “social performance management” — making sure clients are indeed benefiting from microfinance. It profiles two partner organizations — the Small Enterprise Foundation in South Africa and AMK in Cambodia that practice excellent social performance management.

South Africa – 1968
Twenty-five million blacks are ruled by a minority of four million whites under the brutal Apartheid regime of the Nationalist Party Government. Black people have no vote, no land rights, no rights to freedom of movement, to own a business, to housing or education. Determined to retain power, whites ban all black opposition organisations, forcing their leaders into exile or imprisoning them for life on Robben Island.
James Gregory, a typical white Afrikaner, regards blacks as sub-human. Having grown up on a farm in the Transkei, he learned to speak Xhosa at an early age. This makes him an ideal choice to become the warder in charge of Mandela and his comrades on Robben Island. After all, Gregory speaks their language and can spy on them. However, the plan backfires. Through Mandela’s influence, Gregory’s allegiance gradually shifts from the racist government to the struggle for a free South Africa.
Goodbye Bafana tracks the unlikely but profound relationship between these two men. Through their unique friendship, we witness not only Gregory’s growing awareness of man’s inhumanity to man, but South Africa’s evolution from Apartheid to a vibrant democracy.
The story, which documents how Mandela became the most inspirational political figure of the modern world, poses the questions: Who is the prisoner? And who sets whom free?

During the 2009 Confederations cup approximately 600 000 people attended the matches, during the confederations cup there were 39 crime incidents. Some may think that an event like the world cup would attract more criminal activity.

To South Africa now – and the number of white traditional healers, or Sangomas, is on the rise in the country.
During Apartheid, the practice was made illegal.
But now it’s big business, and some are unhappy that white South Africans are now practising traditional healing.
