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.)
