Triumph for Black South African Hot Air Balloon Pilot
July 6, 2023
Apartheid ended in South Africa three decades ago, but Black people still struggle to enter luxury sports. Komane Harold Tjiane, 44, is breaking through that ceiling, training to become a hot air balloon pilot. Zaheer Cassim reports from Johannesburg. Camera: Zaheer Cassim (Editor’s note: An earlier version of this video incorrectly stated Tjiane is South Africa’s first black hot air balloon pilot.)
