Country of Study: SOUTH AFRICA

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

South Africa, the southernmost country on the African continent, is renowned for its varied landscape, great natural beauty, and cultural diversity, a favored destination for travelers since the legal ending of apartheid (Afrikaans: “apartness,” or racial separation) in 1994.

The population is about fifty-seven million people, who speak eleven national languages.  The biggest city of South Africa is Johannesburg. The country has three capitals: Cape Town (parliament), Pretoria (government), and Bloemfontein (Supreme Court).
