Right through Africa

Overview

After five years in Turkey, Bram Vermeulen is back at his post in Africa. Familiar territory, because between 2001 and 2009 he traveled extensively on this continent as a correspondent. The countries he visited have now changed drastically. Africa is booming, they say. But what does that mean? And what are the consequences for the people Vermeulen met and left behind at the time? In nine episodes, Bram Vermeulen travels through South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Angola and investigates the changes. He travels by train, moped and Rolls Royce, meets miners, farmers and wealthy oil barons and rediscovers the southern tip of the continent.
