Two innocent men were convicted of murder in Bethlehem, South Africa, in 1992. Their release did not come until 2011, to a nation which had moved in the meantime from apartheid to democracy. Jonny Steinberg has written a number of books on ordinary people, their lives and their everyday experiences since apartheid was abolished. He talks with Hedley Twidle about his most recent book, One Day in Bethlehem, and about race, class and representation in South Africa during the 2000s. In English. The recording starts a few minutes into this event.
