This 1970 promo film "Golden Transvaal" was directed and produced by John Da Silva. It promotes South Africa and its national parks. It dates to the apartheid era and contains propaganda elements that explicitly or tacitly endorse racism and racial separation. It is presented solely for historical purposes, to help document in part a period of terrible repression.
