Country
located at the southern tip of Africa. It has 2,798 kilometres (1,739 mi) of coastline on the Atlantic and Indian oceans and is divided into nine provinces. South Africa is multi-ethnic and has diverse cultures and languages. It is twenty fourth most populous and twenty fifth largest country by area in the world.Its borders are the nations of Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana to the north, and the nations of Swaziland and Mozambique to the east.
Business Economy
South Africa’s transition to a more open economic system has been facilitated by relatively competitive trade and investment regimes, but structural reforms to diversify the economic base have been only marginally successful. Social instability is exacerbated by violent strikes and a lack of employment opportunity.
Natural Resources
Africa has a large quantity of natural resources including diamonds, salt, gold, iron, cobalt, uranium, copper, bauxite, silver, petroleum and cocoa beans, but also woods and tropical fruits. Much of its natural resources are undiscovered or barely harnessed.
Higher Education
Governed by 2 departments, the primary and secondary schools are handled by the Department of Basic Education while tertiary education and vocational training are handled by the Department of Higher Education and Training.
Tourism
South Africa is a country on the southernmost tip of the African continent, marked by several distinct ecosystems. Inland safari destination Kruger National Park is populated by big game. The Western Cape offers beaches, lush winelands around Stellenbosch and Paarl, craggy cliffs at the Cape of Good Hope, forest and lagoons along the Garden Route, and the city of Cape Town, beneath flat-topped Table Mountain.
Climate Weather
outh African weather is a combined result of the impact of the seas and the various landforms like the Highveld to the north and the south Namib to the north west. Climate in South Africa makes for hot dry atmosphere for the most part of the year in north west to western areas.
Required clothing
During summer, take light, summer clothes (shorts, dresses, light trousers, T shirts and sandals) and an umbrella for summer thunder showers. The evenings can be cooler so bring a sweater or light jacket along. During winter, long sleeves, jerseys, jackets, shoes and socks are needed. An umbrella is needed if you're visiting the western Cape during South Africa's winter months - May through September.
