Have you ever wondered how a dam, skyscraper, tunnel, bridge, tower, monument or soccer stadium was built? Tune in to SABC 2 on Sunday, 23rd October at 21h00 for the premiere of the 6 part documentary Man Made Marvels presented by radio and TV personality Sydney Matlhaku

In this 6 part documentary series we take a look at our country’s exceptional architectural, engineering or construction landmarks and how they changed the natural landscapes and influenced the lives of people. It is hard not to be impressed by the scale of some of these engineering feats and the imagination, ingenuity and vision architects and engineers had when conceiving these “marvels”. But imagination is not enough, each “marvel” also represent a massive leap of faith in the power of new engineering and technology, past or present, to overcome the challenges of the natural world and to extend the boundaries of achievement.

The stories you'll discover are: • Gautrain / 3 major impact points • Soccer City / Mponeng Mines • Constitutional court / Lesotho Highlands Water Project • Table mountain Cableway/Water Suply and Sewage disposal system • King Shaka Airport and Moses Mabhida • Durban beachfront Promenade and Durban Harbour Sand Bypass system
