LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Scientology Network's DESTINATION: SCIENTOLOGY, the weekly travelogue series that takes viewers inside Scientology Churches all around the world and discovers what makes each one unique, presents an episode featuring Johannesburg, South Africa.

DESTINATION: SCIENTOLOGY airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.

ABOUT DESTINATION: SCIENTOLOGY, JOHANNESBURG

South Africa's remarkable and inspiring struggle for freedom is the backdrop of a flourishing Johannesburg today. Imbued with the indomitable spirit of "Ubuntu"—the Zulu word for "humanity"—once dismal, gray industrial zones have been transformed with the introduction of hip new art galleries, colorful murals, theaters and museums. At the center of this vibrant cultural reawakening stands the Church of Scientology Johannesburg.

This episode explores the history of the city, including its singular distinction as "The Cradle of Humankind"—the place where humanity started. The episode further touches on Founder L. Ron Hubbard's history in South Africa and his efforts to bring to the people of this nation not only universal suffrage, but spiritual freedom as well. It was during the period he lived in Johannesburg that he predicted that, "From Southern Africa will spring the next great civilization on this planet."
