# Can love overcome racism in South Africa? | Full Episode | SBS Dateline

Mixed-race couples in South Africa say they still face judgment despite progress made in the 'Rainbow Nation'.

Under South Africa's apartheid regime, a system of racial segregation which lasted until 1994, interracial marriage was illegal.

Dateline travels to South Africa to see if love can conquer all in a country still divided by race.

This episode is from Dateline's 2022 season.
