Beaches were among the first public spaces to be reclaimed in South Africa, opening up even before apartheid officially ended in the early '90s. Under that policy, the country's shores were forcibly segregated, with the cleanest and safest waters set aside for whites. Now, nearly 30 years later, the country's first Black African to be certified by the Professional Association of Diving Instructors is continuing the work of making the ocean a welcome place for all. At the link in bio, meet Zandile Ndhlovu aka @zandithemermaid, South Africa’s first Black African free-diving instructor, and learn about how she spends a day in Cape Town. 📷: @jackibruniquel
