South Africa, The Edge of Splendor
South Africa lies on the most southern edge of the African continent. The culturally, historically and ethnically versatile country faced many tragedies throughout the centuries and still faces several issues in the present. It managed to temper much of its problems and has become one of the world’s most intriguing places in many way.
South Africa is neighbored by countries like Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique and also with small countries like Swaziland and Lesotho.
The de jure capital is Pretoria yet it has three main administrative centers. Pretoria is the executive capital, Bloemfontein is the judicial capital and Cape Town is the legislative capital of the country.
The country recognizes 11 official languages (English, Afrikaans, Zulu, Zhosa, Northern Sotho, Southern Sotho, Swazi, Tsonga, Tswana, Venda and Southern Ndebele.), thus making South Africa unique in the world.
