How did a baby, born in 1984 in South Africa-the world's most complicated system of segregation and apartheid, find his way to the great opera stages of Europe and the United States? How did a child, raised in poverty by his grandmother in Zwide Township, attain academic degrees in both South Africa and the United States?
