Clive Myrie's African Adventure

Clive experiences the South African crazes for car spinning and car wash parties and meets the granddaughter of Nelson Mandela, the man who inspired him to become a journalist.

Clive gets onto the anti-poaching front line protecting South Africa’s magnificent rhino and tries to stay upright as he takes to the ocean with a surf school for street kids.

Clive lends a hand at a penguin rehab centre, jams with up-and-coming jazz talent Q Ntshinka and learns the art of Cape Malay cooking in the city’s colourful Bo-Kaap district.

Clive gets a restyle at one of the world’s biggest second-hand markets, learns Ghanaian grooves from Beyonce video star Dance God Lloyd and learns the art of fantasy coffins.

Clive learns about his family story on an emotional visit to a former slave fort, before getting a big celebratory welcome (and a new name) from the elders of the Fante people.

In Lagos, one of Africa’s largest cities, Clive gets a workout in the downtown street market, heads for the studio with local musicians and experiences the vibrancy of Nigerian art.
