South Africa

The South Africa is a country in Africa . It borders Namibia , Botswana , Zimbabwe , Mozambique , Swaziland and Lesotho (which is completely surrounded by South Africa). It is a vast country with very different landscapes and has 11 official languages as well as an equally diverse population. South Africa is known for its wines and is one of the world's largest producers of gold. South Africa has the strongest economy in Africa, and is an influential country in African politics. In 2010, South Africa hosted the first Soccer World Cup on an African continent.
The capitals are Pretoria (executive capital), Bloemfontein (judicial capital), and Cape Town (legislative capital). The main town is Johannesburg , but the "tourism capital" is Cape Town.
South Africa is famous for its cultural, linguistic and religious diversity, with eleven official languages recognized in the constitution. English is the most widely spoken language in official and commercial public life, although it is only the fifth most spoken domestic language. The country is ethnically diverse, with the largest Caucasian, Indian and mestizo communities in Africa. Although 79.6% of the population is black, this category is neither linguistically nor culturally homogeneous, since its members speak different Bantu languages, of which nine are officially recognized. In 2007, the population of South Africa was estimated at 47.9 million inhabitants. The two most spoken languages of the country are English and Afrikaans. Apart from these, there are another 9 official languages in the country, all of African origin.

The system of racial segregation (apartheid) began to be dismantled in 1990, so that South Africa's first democratic election in 1994 brought Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress party to power.
