0:00:02 > 0:00:03This is so exciting.
0:00:03 > 0:00:05Emily, Kathryn, Rob, Ed
0:00:05 > 0:00:09and Jasmine have been on an amazing African adventure.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11- SHE SQUEALS - What is that?
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Now it's the last leg of their journey
0:00:13 > 0:00:16and they move 500 miles north to the rocky centre
0:00:16 > 0:00:18of South Africa to a diamond mine.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Oh, my God!
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Will headstrong Emily finally knuckle down?
0:00:23 > 0:00:25- SHE SQUEALS - Oh, no.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Rob is annoying me.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Or will she get up to her usual tricks?
0:00:31 > 0:00:33SHE GASPS
0:00:33 > 0:00:34I think it settled.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36And what happens when Kathryn joins in?
0:00:36 > 0:00:38- I'm walking out. - We're both going to walk out.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Girls, you need to realise I was not born yesterday.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45I think Kathryn should stop following Emily and do her own thing.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52We are in one of the most historic places in South Africa.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Kimberley is where the first-ever diamond was found on this whole
0:00:58 > 0:01:00continent.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Our five are going to be working at the oldest diamond mining
0:01:04 > 0:01:09company in the whole of the country - the world-famous De Beers.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Most of the world's diamonds are found in Africa.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15It may look like piles of rubble
0:01:15 > 0:01:20but this grey rock is packed with diamonds worth billions of pounds.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Once the diamonds have been mined, they are sorted into big, bigger,
0:01:24 > 0:01:25and best.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30I want to introduce you to two very important ladies.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35- This is Paula. She is going to be helping you.- Hi.- And Mpumi.- Hello.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37How are you?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Mpumi is on the board of De Beers and she's brought something very
0:01:40 > 0:01:43special out of the vaults for our kids.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47The stone that I'll tell you about, it is called the Eureka stone.
0:01:47 > 0:01:53In 1866, a young boy by the name of Erasmus Jacobs,
0:01:53 > 0:01:57who was 15 years old, found the stone.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01And it's the first-ever stone to have been recovered in Africa.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Incredibly, she is letting our kids handle this priceless diamond.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07I hope they rise to the occasion.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08It felt like plastic.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- Plastic?- Yeah.- No.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15It's not plastic. You are in De Beers. We don't do any imitations.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18This is the real thing.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20This is not a good start to the day.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- Emily, this is worth millions and millions.- What?!
0:02:24 > 0:02:28I can't tell you how much of a privilege it is for you guys
0:02:28 > 0:02:32to A, be here, and B, be able to touch - physically touch -
0:02:32 > 0:02:33these diamonds.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- They are part of the history here. - Yes.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Mpumi is leaving our kids in the hands of Paula,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42one of De Beers' diamonds experts, for their first task.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47What you guys are going to do today is to actually sort diamonds.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Oh, my gosh, they are actually letting them
0:02:49 > 0:02:52get their hands on more real diamonds.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54This is serious stuff.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58The team are going to be sorting the gemstones from the industrial-grade
0:02:58 > 0:03:00diamonds.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04It's repetitive, painstaking work that requires accuracy, speed,
0:03:04 > 0:03:06and concentration.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09You will be using a head loop. I will pass these on.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I need to talk to you about the security of our product.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I really need you to concentrate on how you treat the diamonds.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19I want you to treat them with respect, OK?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22We need to make sure that all our diamonds is accounted for.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27If maybe you drop the stone, I need you to stop immediately.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31The security and the handling of these goods become extremely,
0:03:31 > 0:03:32extremely important.
0:03:32 > 0:03:38It requires quiet, concentration, and try not to disrupt each other.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40This is going to be interesting.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- Silence, Emily, for 20 minutes. - I can manage that.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Yeah? Can you?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49You know your spaces, you've got the gear. Off you go.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53The kids have got over 100 stones to sort through - a job that would
0:03:53 > 0:03:56normally take a De Beers' worker five minutes.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58The challenge is to sort these diamonds by colour.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01The lighter and clearer the diamonds, the more valuable.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I think it's quite hard,
0:04:03 > 0:04:07just of the fact that seeing the colours is quite difficult.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Like, telling them apart. It's not really that hard to drop them.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11This is easy.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Paula. I don't know whether this one's brown.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20This has kind of got a tinge of brown, but...
0:04:20 > 0:04:24However your eye interprets it, just place it there, OK?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28It's a fiddly job that requires great care -
0:04:28 > 0:04:31not one of Emily's strong points over the last three weeks.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34SHE GROANS
0:04:34 > 0:04:38I can't get the hang of it. I think I just broke your plant.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I'm so sorry.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44How was this... Oh! Oh, my God, are you OK?
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Uh...
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Today, can she change the habits of a lifetime?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53I think I've got an infected one. It's got black stuff in.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55You can all just see inside
0:04:55 > 0:04:57and just try to focus on the colour of the stone.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- OK, thanks.- Of course.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01This one. Oh!
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- This is a cardinal sin.- Paula. There's one there.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Just right there.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14We are literally minutes in and already Emily has dropped
0:05:14 > 0:05:15a diamond on the floor.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I don't know how impressed Paula's going to be.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22With thousands of pounds at stake, work has to stop immediately whilst
0:05:22 > 0:05:26the diamond is recovered and the incident recorded.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Eighth window, west side.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Middle of the floor.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Why do you have to do that procedure thingy?
0:05:35 > 0:05:41- It's purely just part of our security procedures.- What, so no-one nicks it?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44A dropped diamond could mean demotion.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Kathryn, meanwhile, seems to be finding it less of a challenge.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52It's going pretty good. It's not that hard.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55You've just got to have a good eye.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59She may seem confident now, but at times she's found Africa hard going.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- No, don't touch it.- Don't touch it.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Just hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09I'm feeling quite overwhelmed by everything.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13And is also easily led astray by her friend Emily.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15OK, let's play rock, paper, scissors for it.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Are you ready? Rock, paper, scissors.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- No!- Yes!- What on earth is going on here?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24It's just not cool. I'm flabbergasted.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28But today it looks like she has put that behind her.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Um, I finished clearing them.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36I just need to go over them and see if they're in the right place.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Emily finishes next and is looking for a chat.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- Are you done, Kathryn?- Mm-hm.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- I finished first.- OK, whatever.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Paula is not impressed. Rules are rules.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Meanwhile, the other three manage to finish their task in complete
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- silence.- OK, guys. That's it.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59And as the results are added up,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02the kids decide to assess their performances.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Me and Kathryn probably did the best because we were the fastest.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Yeah, it's about speed,
0:07:08 > 0:07:10but you also need to get them in the correct piles.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12If you speed, you might have got them in the wrong piles.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16But if they take our talking into account, and demote us,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- I'm walking out. - Yeah, we're both going to walk out.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24Fighting talk, but will they be that brave in front of Paula?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27OK, guys, so Paula is going to let you know about your statistics.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32Rob, your percentage error rate was 6.5%.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Ed, percentage error rate of 9.5%.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Jasmine, your percentage error rate, 9.64.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Kathryn, 9.43.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49And, Emily, unfortunately, your percentage error rate, 15.3.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51It's not good for you, Em.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53And, you know, the fact that you were talking,
0:07:53 > 0:07:56the fact that you were the only person out of the five to drop
0:07:56 > 0:07:58one of the diamonds on the floor...
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Not a good task for you.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Emily is in trouble but has she pulled Kathryn down with her?
0:08:05 > 0:08:10The only thing that sets Kathryn back is the chatting with Emily.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13You guys were talking amongst yourselves.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15That was happening, wasn't it?
0:08:15 > 0:08:16Mm.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18If Emily is talking to you, just don't listen.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21You know the rules - "I've got to be silent for 20 minutes."
0:08:21 > 0:08:25You don't have to answer anyone who's talking to you. Yeah?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Let's move on.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- I hope she doesn't watch us. - Guys, you're talking now.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33I cannot believe you're talking now. What are you talking about now?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- I said, "Are we going to walk off?" - Tell me about this.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Is this a conversation that you had previously?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Girls, you need to realise I was not born yesterday, yeah?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Paula has been working in this industry for a very long time.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47You've had a conversation.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49You've just asked her, "Are you going to walk off?"
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Walk off where? Where are you going to walk to? We can't get out.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53We're locked in.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Where are you going to walk to?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Last factory, third week in,
0:08:59 > 0:09:01and we're still having these kinds of conversations.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06We're going to find out now who's been promoted
0:09:06 > 0:09:08and who's been demoted.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- I will definitely be promoting Rob. - Thank you.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Definitely be promoting Ed.
0:09:16 > 0:09:23And we will be promoting Jasmine. Thank you very much, Jasmine.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Unfortunately, you two girls, nothing in it for you.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- OK.- Sorry, girls. So you will be demoted.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33You know the reasons why, yeah?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Kathryn, you're visibly upset.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Not getting promoted because of Emily has devastated Kathryn.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47I do think that Emily led me astray back there.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Or maybe I led myself astray because she was just kind of talking
0:09:50 > 0:09:52and then I just joined in.
0:09:52 > 0:09:58Seeing that she has got demoted because of me, I feel awful.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01I think Kathryn should stop following Emily and do her own thing.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04She was determined to get the task over and done with.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08And so, blowing her hopes of that, yeah,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11it's not something you want to do to your friend.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16I need to get Emily and Kathryn back on track.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22I want them to meet a family whose livelihood depends on diamonds.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23- BOTH:- Hi. - Hello!
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Abel is a diamond mine success story
0:10:26 > 0:10:29who has worked his way up to senior manager.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32His 12-year-old daughter Cindy is keen to meet our girls.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Are you proud of the job that your Dad has?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39I am proud of my Dad, and I'm proud of the job he has done and, like,
0:10:39 > 0:10:41the long way he has come. Yeah.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Do you feel fortunate for everything you've got, like...
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Because I know that I didn't,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49because I don't think I realised how poor people got.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53And you're so very aware that people are very poor here.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I do think I'm more grateful, because when you're watching the news
0:10:56 > 0:11:00and things like that you see some people, like, suffering,
0:11:00 > 0:11:01so I do become grateful,
0:11:01 > 0:11:04and I do take things for serious.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06What do you want to do when you're older?
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I want to be a lawyer, because I like helping people.
0:11:09 > 0:11:15I think people deserve chances, and things must be done the right way,
0:11:15 > 0:11:17so that's what I want to do when I'm older.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20I think I'm just not committed enough to go to law school,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23because, you know, you've got to work really hard.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- You've got to have a lot of patience.- Yeah.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- And that's something I don't have. - THEY LAUGH
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Bye.- Bye.- Bye.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35I hope that meeting Cindy has helped Emily and Kathryn see that
0:11:35 > 0:11:40if they set their mind to something, they can achieve so much more.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42She studies, like, super hard in school,
0:11:42 > 0:11:47- because she's really wanting to be a lawyer.- She wants to succeed.- Yeah.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- And she will. She'll try really hard.- Yeah.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53And the difference is is that we want to succeed,
0:11:53 > 0:11:55but we don't want to work for it.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Yeah.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58But with the final task tomorrow,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01working hard is exactly what they have to do.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10It's our last morning in Africa,
0:12:10 > 0:12:13and the last chance for our five to show us what they're made of.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16I'm hoping they're going to walk in there, prove themselves,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19and all come back with wages.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Jasmine and Ed were promoted yesterday,
0:12:21 > 0:12:22so they have been entrusted
0:12:22 > 0:12:26with one of the most important jobs at the mine - security.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28They are off to meet their new boss, Mark,
0:12:28 > 0:12:31whose job it is to protect the £1 billion operation
0:12:31 > 0:12:33inside the gates.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34If you can take a note,
0:12:34 > 0:12:36it's the boomgates where people enter the mining area.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39This is our first line of defence as security.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41What we're going to do, we're going to explain to you briefly
0:12:41 > 0:12:43on how to do a breathalyser test.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45You need to blow into it.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50It'll be checking, see if there's any alcohol in the person's system.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53When the light turns green, it means the person's clear to come in.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- If they blow red, they don't go.- Gotcha.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58It's a big responsibility.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02No-one is allowed on site with even a trace of alcohol in their system,
0:13:02 > 0:13:03and they must have the correct ID.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06It's very important that everybody that accesses the mining area
0:13:06 > 0:13:08have an access card.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Let them blow, and ask for their access card.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- Hello.- Hi. How are you?- I'm good.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- Hiya. Blow into this, please.- Hey.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Blow into this, please.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Thank you.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- Your card?- Here you go.- Cool.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Thank you.- OK. Enjoy.- Have a good day.- Thank you.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28So, how are you finding it so far?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Oh, I'm actually finding it kind of fun.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31HE LAUGHS
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Having the power to, um...like, um, letting them
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- through or not letting them through.- Yeah.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40I'm finding this cool. I'm getting the hang of it.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Following the instructions. Getting it right.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Ed and Jasmine seem to be acing this task, but how do they cope
0:13:46 > 0:13:49when they get a van-load of workers all needing to be checked?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Can you blow into this, please?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- OK.- Thank you.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59Hi. Can you blow into that? Yeah. See if you're not drunk.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Can I see your access card, please?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Thank you.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Have a good day! Bye.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12This is probably the most important thing about this mining place,
0:14:12 > 0:14:13really.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15If we just let everyone through,
0:14:15 > 0:14:19people would just be able to go in and out with diamonds really easily.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22All good so far,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25but how do the team handle their first tricky customer of the day?
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- Have a good day so far? - I am doing quite good.- Good.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- Can you blow into this, please? - What?
0:14:31 > 0:14:35It's to check if you had alcohol.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37No. I didn't have alcohol.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40If you get a difficult customer, you need to know your procedures.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Just blow into it, though.- Huh?- Can you blow into it?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45No, I didn't have alcohol.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48You need to keep your emotions out of the picture.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- I know, but this is a check.- Huh? - It's just a check.- Why?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- It's a safety rule. - To see if you're not drunk.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56It is your responsibility to protect anything beyond that line.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00There's no sign that says I'm going to get blown when I come in.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- Well, you could be lying to us, sir.- Huh?- You could be lying to us.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08They don't come onto the premises. Period.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13- STACEY:- Meanwhile, down at the mud flats, our demoted pair have got
0:15:13 > 0:15:16the dirtiest job at the mine - digging trenches.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- Eww, that's disgusting.- Eww.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Diamonds are mined here by sifting through mountains of rocky deposits.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Inside huge water drums,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26the diamonds are separated off from the silt.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29The waste product is pumped to these mud flats,
0:15:29 > 0:15:31where it needs to be cleared to prevent it building up.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35And that is a job made for Kathryn and Emily.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- Right. You start there, and I'll start here.- OK.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Senior manager Abel will be their boss today,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44with promoted Rob supervising.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45SHE GROANS
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Emily, come on. Just get back to work.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- Things don't get off to a good start.- This is really difficult!
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Emily, don't do it that way. It's going to be even harder.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Turn the other way round, and then do it.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Kathryn, don't go too deep. And move forward a bit.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01SHE SQUEALS
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Oh, no! No!
0:16:03 > 0:16:08- And Emily still has trouble taking instruction.- Emily, don't stop.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- Keep going.- Rob, I'll slap this out of you.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Do you know what? If he was...
0:16:12 > 0:16:16If Stacey wasn't there, his face would be deep in this.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17I was about to say maybe
0:16:17 > 0:16:20if you didn't talk in the last task, you wouldn't be here.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21Rob, shut up.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22SHE GRUNTS
0:16:22 > 0:16:24THEY LAUGH
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Back at the main gates,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31have Ed and Jasmine finally got things under control?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34I don't think I can blow through that thing. I've got asthma.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37He said that he had asthma and he can't breathe properly.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41This time, Jasmine's not taking no for an answer.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- So, you're saying you have asthma? - Asthma, yeah.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- So, where's your asthma pump?- Huh?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47If you've got asthma, let's see your pump.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49It's here.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53- So, you can just use it afterwards. - Huh?- You can just use it afterwards.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57It ended up he did blow into it, in the end.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Ed and Jasmine are on a roll.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- Are you having a good day today? - Pardon? Yes, yes, yes.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I'm impressed with the two of them. Really, I am.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14They're a pair of rough diamonds, but having in the hands of somebody
0:17:14 > 0:17:17that can shape and mould them, perfection.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Happy dance!
0:17:23 > 0:17:26'Back at the mud flats, things are also looking up.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28'The girls are finally giving it some welly.'
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Nice and quick. Nice and quick. Nice and quick, girls.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34'And Abel decides he's seen enough.'
0:17:34 > 0:17:36OK, girls. Do you want to hop out?
0:17:36 > 0:17:38SHE GRUNTS
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- Rob, do you want a hug?- No way. If you come near me, I swear...
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- Not my... Why? Who does that? - Come away from there.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Right, girls. Come over.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51THEY LAUGH
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- I have never been this muddy in my life.- Do you know what?
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Hats off to you girls for really going for it.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58And I feel like you needed to do this,
0:17:58 > 0:18:00because you let yourself down in the last task.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03So, all in all, a massive thumbs-up. I'm very pleased.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07OK. Let's make a move. Come on, my muddy warriors. Follow me.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Is there a bath?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11It's time to head back to base to meet up with the others.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15As all of the kids have worked hard today, I'm taking them
0:18:15 > 0:18:18to the inner sanctum of the mine - the lab.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22The mine uses thousands of gallons of water to extract diamonds,
0:18:22 > 0:18:26and samples of this water are tested before it's reused.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29And that's what our kids are going to be doing for their final task.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Welcome, guys. This is the Kimberley mines laboratory.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34We've basically got a task here for you guys.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37We'd like you, then, to settle as much mud out of the water
0:18:37 > 0:18:41as possible by using as little of this flocculatory agent as possible.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46This expensive chemical solution separates the mud out from the
0:18:46 > 0:18:50water, and the team's task is to use it as sparingly as they can.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52So, I'm going to start with you, Jaz.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54The other four, you can leave the room.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I'll leave you with your new boss, Bonge.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59- Please put your gloves on.- OK.
0:19:00 > 0:19:05- Is that about 5ml?- It's about five. - And the time starts...now.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07I have to make my science teacher proud.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11One, two...Done.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Please do well. Please do me well. Please do me well.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17You just need to watch for these floccules to actually settle
0:19:17 > 0:19:19and actually compress nicely.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22And stop. That seems sufficiently settled.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27So, your time then - three minutes, 13 seconds.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32They're doing this task one by one, so it's just them and their boss.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34I've left them to it, but it is a lab,
0:19:34 > 0:19:36so it's all about the precision.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40But that's not Ed's approach. He uses all the solution in one go.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Whoa!
0:19:43 > 0:19:46All the water's going up to the surface.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49An anxious-looking Rob is up next.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52I don't even know how to suck it in. Do I just push that down? What?
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Do I literally just hold it in? I don't know what I'm doing.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58OK. It's cool. It's cool. It's cool. It's cool.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Whoa, whoa. That was cheeky.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Kathryn's up next. Can she end on a high?
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- Kathryn, any time you're ready.- OK.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12She's listening to every word her boss is saying.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16She's taking her time. And, most importantly, she's precise.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18You've used 3ml of the agent,
0:20:18 > 0:20:23and you've gotten your bed to settle in about two minutes and 32 seconds.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Is that good?
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Do I look impressed?
0:20:27 > 0:20:31And last but not least, Emily. How will this go?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34That's a good start. Can't even put my gloves on.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Expensive stuff.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39SHE GRUNTS
0:20:39 > 0:20:43I can't do it. Eurgh!
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Shaking for my life.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Ooh. It's stuck to my hand. Eww.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54SHE GASPS
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Oh, dear.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Of all the people to have an accident with - her boss.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01SHE LAUGHS
0:21:01 > 0:21:06I'm so sorry. I'm really, really sorry.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08That's such a good way to make an impression
0:21:08 > 0:21:09on your boss, isn't it?
0:21:09 > 0:21:13- I just spilt the whole thing over the boss.- Wait, wait.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- The whole, like...?- The whole thing.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- That's so annoying, cos you did so well in the last task.- I know.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21If it makes you feel any better, I did terrible.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Do you think you'll get paid?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26No. I think that's blown my chances for getting paid.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Despite all of Emily's best intentions,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32she's just gone horribly, horribly wrong in there.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34I am a bit gutted for her.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40And there's only one way to find out if anyone's getting paid,
0:21:40 > 0:21:42and that's in the final boardroom.
0:21:42 > 0:21:48Last factory, last task, and this is our very last boardroom meeting.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- How we all feeling?- Nervous. - Yeah. Like, all of us.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57So, with that said, Abel, I wonder if you'd mind just quickly going
0:21:57 > 0:22:01through each of our kids and telling them how you believe they behaved.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Ed is a bit... You've been a bit reserved,
0:22:05 > 0:22:08but you had a positive attitude towards the job that you were given.
0:22:08 > 0:22:14Robbie, today I saw a leader in you. Very calm.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Emily was saying things to you, but you didn't get, um...
0:22:18 > 0:22:20You didn't respond.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22How did our Jaz do?
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- Energy, energy, energy, energy. - SHE LAUGHS
0:22:26 > 0:22:28How did our Kathryn do?
0:22:28 > 0:22:32- You were given a very difficult task today.- Mm-hm.
0:22:32 > 0:22:37You didn't give up, but you kept on pushing forward.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Me and Emily had a game plan.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41We were just going to really try our best, cos we wanted to leave
0:22:41 > 0:22:45South Africa knowing that we had tried really hard.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- Emily. - THEY LAUGH
0:22:47 > 0:22:48This is the worst part.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Just like me, a person who speaks your mind.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54THEY LAUGH
0:22:54 > 0:22:56It is great that you're able to speak your mind.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58You know, to have such confidence,
0:22:58 > 0:23:03and to have such conviction is an asset in certain circumstances.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04SHE LAUGHS
0:23:04 > 0:23:07So, it's just picking your battles and, you know,
0:23:07 > 0:23:09picking the right places to voice your opinion.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13All great comments, but how did they do in the final task?
0:23:13 > 0:23:17- The first person who did very well would be Kathryn.- Thanks.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22The second person was Jaz. Well done, Jaz.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Third person was Rob.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27You did very well. Fourth person was Ed.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31And then Emily.
0:23:31 > 0:23:36So, that brings us to the wages.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41Abel has made the decision as to who he wants to pay.
0:23:41 > 0:23:47I've decided, based on attitude, based on the commitment,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49that I'm going to pay...
0:23:49 > 0:23:50..all of you.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Whoo!
0:23:54 > 0:23:56That's amazing!
0:23:56 > 0:24:01'Even Emily got paid. Good thing for her that Abel is such a softie.'
0:24:01 > 0:24:05500 each. It's a day's wage you've got there.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09It's just under 30 quid.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11- Thank you.- Thanks.
0:24:11 > 0:24:18- You deserve it.- Whoo!- Thank you, Abel.- Thank you.- Well done.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Three weeks ago,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25these British kids hadn't done a day's work between them.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28The toughest part of this is actually finding healthy ones.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30I put the wrong one on.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35- Some of the jobs they did pushed them to their limits.- Oh!
0:24:35 > 0:24:38They all look the same! It's really hard to pair them.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- Emily, quickly!- I'm trying.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47And seeing how some children have to survive was even more of a shock.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- People live here?- Yes. People live here.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Where do you sleep?
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- I don't even know what to say, to be honest.- Whoa.
0:24:55 > 0:25:01Look at that, look at that. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa! That's massive!
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Now they are home with their families,
0:25:03 > 0:25:05has anything really changed?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12A month ago, Emily was the ultimate material girl.
0:25:12 > 0:25:17When I came back from Africa, I got money for my birthday,
0:25:17 > 0:25:22and usually within a couple of days it's probably spent.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24But it's been, like, almost a month now,
0:25:24 > 0:25:26and nothing has happened with that money.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29And there's been no train of thought to where that money's going to go.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30That is a revelation.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- SHELLEY:- She's not nearly as materialistic,
0:25:33 > 0:25:37but I could see that could easily slip the other way.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38She still likes nice things,
0:25:38 > 0:25:42but I think she realises now that, "Actually, I don't need them."
0:25:42 > 0:25:43Whoa!
0:25:43 > 0:25:44THEY SQUEAL
0:25:44 > 0:25:49Ed's time in Africa gave him the wake-up call that he needed.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Being away from my family has made me miss them more.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57So, now I treat them with a little bit more respect than I used to.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03I think he's just a little bit more appreciative of the things that we
0:26:03 > 0:26:05do for him.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07You know, he's quite often sort of coming up to me
0:26:07 > 0:26:10and sort of putting his arm around me and going, "Oh, thanks."
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Or that kind of thing. Which is lovely.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Rob realises there's life outside the mirror.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- NIGEL:- When he first arrived at home, I think he was noticeably quiet,
0:26:20 > 0:26:24but I think he definitely has become a little bit more considerate.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25A little bit more thoughtful.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28He understands things a little bit more, and I think, more importantly,
0:26:28 > 0:26:30he understands where things come from.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33And I think that's quite a big shift, really.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Since I've been in Africa, I have come to realise that
0:26:35 > 0:26:38I am a really privileged child, and I've got things I don't need,
0:26:38 > 0:26:41and people back in Africa, they wouldn't have a phone.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43They wouldn't have an iPod or anything like that.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Life in Africa has made Kathryn see just how much her Mum
0:26:48 > 0:26:49does for her.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Kind of made me think about my Mum, and how she probably works,
0:26:53 > 0:26:55like, really hard for me.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Maybe I kind of took it for granted, but now I realise that
0:26:59 > 0:27:04I wouldn't really be much if my Mum wasn't there to look after me.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09Since Kathryn came back from Africa, I feel she does want to help me
0:27:09 > 0:27:10more at home.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14She does realise that she has a whole lot more than other
0:27:14 > 0:27:16people in this world.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17One.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21And has Jasmine swapped selfies for selfless?
0:27:21 > 0:27:25My mum wanted me to stop thinking the world revolves around me.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30But I've actually, like, realised, "It's not just your world, Jasmine."
0:27:30 > 0:27:34It's, like, ten gazillion people else in different countries -
0:27:34 > 0:27:36that it's their world too.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Until you experience something which is
0:27:39 > 0:27:42so life-changing like this experience was,
0:27:42 > 0:27:46I don't think you're ever going to understand what it's like.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Like, something inside you just changes.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50- ALL:- Show me what you're made of!
