ARTS: South Africa, the art of a nation

She was commissioned by BMW to paint over a car in the vivid colours that decorate many homes of the Ndebele people. That painted car is now one of 200 works in a major new British Museum Exhibition, "South Africa, the art of a nation". The BBC's Hassan Arouni has been checking out the new show
