Original text
"Divided into two episodes, Isiswe begins billions of years ago when the world was still a ball of fire and, from there, takes the audience through the history of human evolution, colonisation and industrialisation in Africa. The second episode chronicles the rise and fall of apartheid in the country, culminating in the release of Nelson Mandela and ending with the joyous celebration of a new country."
