South Africa is renowned for its wines and is the world's largest
producer of gold. South Africa has a strong economy and is an
influential player in African politics. In 2010, South Africa
will host the first Football World Cup to be held on the African
continent.

The Protea is the national flower of South Africa
Informal settlement near Cape Town.If you want to travel in
southern Africa then South Africa is a good place to start.
While you can fly into any country in southern Africa, most
flights will route through South Africa anyway. South Africa
is also a good place to get used to travelling in the region
(though some would argue that Namibia is better for that). Of
course South Africa is not only a jumping off point, it is itself
a superb destination rich in culture, fauna & flora and
history.
Outsiders' views of South Africa are coloured by the same stereotypes
as the rest of Africa. Contrary to popular belief, South Africa
is not devastatingly poor with an unstable government that is
rapidly going to pot. Although the rural part of South Africa
remains among the poorest and the least developed parts of the
world and poverty in the townships can be appalling, progress
is being made. The process of recovering from apartheid, which
lasted almost 46 years, is quite slow. South Africa boasts a
well-developed infrastructure and has all the modern amenities
and technologies. The government is stable, although corruption
is common. The government and the primary political parties
all have a high level of respect for democratic institutions
and human rights.
