Lord Nelson

Vice Admiral Viscount Horatio Nelson was the greatest British sailor of all time, possibly the greatest sailor in all the world’s history. His adventures, tactical genius and courage inspired Britain to become the naval superpower that it was in the 1700s and 1800s, and helped bring about the fall of Napoleon and a change in the balance of power throughout the world. Though he had only one eye and one arm, he seems to have brought enough energy and ambition for two lifetimes, and history looks fondly on his contribution.

Mansa Musa

Once upon a time, there lived a king... a king who had so much wealth that he could fill great halls to their roofs with it. When he visited the biggest Islamic city of his age, he brought so much money with him that he almost destroyed its economy. But this is no mythical fairytale, and he wasn’t just a big spender. His name was Mansa Musa, and he used his phenomenal wealth to build universities, libraries and more - and in the process, established perhaps the greatest medieval kingdom in Africa.

S2 E5: Not all filling stations are created equal

Petrol stations usually look pretty much the same... but not in Waterfall, and not if Irving Steyn (Development Manager at Waterfall) and Thomas Kriel (Design Team Leader at Theunissen Jankowitz Architects, Pretoria) have anything to do with it. In this episode, Siya Sangweni explores what it takes to design a filling station that raises the bar for forecourts around the world, introduces exciting new brands such as Manaka coffee and Trend!, and makes people want to hang out for a while instead of just filling up and driving off.
