Reggie Yates’s Extreme South Africa

Reggie Yates travels through South Africa two decades after apartheid ended, looking at who got left out of the country's recovery. He spends time with white South Africans who have slid into poverty, visiting squatter camps and informal settlements that upend the old assumption that poverty in South Africa is a Black problem only. The series sets that new underclass against the country's history of racial segregation, tracing how the economic collapse of some white communities followed the same townships and shantytowns that apartheid once built for Black South Africans. Yates talks directly to residents about work, housing, and how they explain their own circumstances, letting their answers sit alongside footage of the settlements themselves rather than narrating over them. The film does not resolve the tension between South Africa's scenic reputation and this harder material; it keeps both in view, using Yates's on-the-ground interviews to ask what apartheid's end actually changed and for whom.
