‘Kapa Kunjan’
Documentary series, 1994, 4 x 30 minutes, dv cam
Saskia Vredeveld uses video letters to report on the new situation in South Africa.
She showed how the population came to terms with the new freedom since the first free elections and where people started to think differently about the future.
In her quest above all into a changing mentality in the new South Africa, she visited the commander of the Afrikaner Weerstand Beweging and the fishing village of Struisbaai where coloured people were driven from their houses by whites.
But there is also attention for changes in the tourist industry. For instance an excursion to the nature reserve Kagga Kamma where Bushman from the Khomani tribe could be found. In addition she visited Port Nolloth where blacks have now been allowed to live.
Finally she shows the changes on the labour market and unemployed whites that were bitter about positive discrimination in the new South Africa. And issues of people fighting for their land rights.
