ABOUT SOUTH AFRICA
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Republic of South Africa is a parliamentary democracy comprising nine provinces which is
located at the southern tip of Africa, with a 2,798 kilometres coastline on the Atlantic and Indian
Oceans. To the north lies Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe; to the east are Mozambique and
Swaziland; while Lesotho is an enclave surrounded by South African territory. South Africa is known
for its diversity in cultures and languages. Eleven official languages are recognised in the
constitution. Two of these languages are of European origin: Afrikaans, a language which originated
mainly from Dutch that is spoken by the majority of white and Coloured South Africans, and South
African English. Though English is commonly used in public and commercial life, it is only the fifth
most-spoken home language. South Africa is a constitutional democracy in the form of a
parliamentary republic; unlike most parliamentary republics, the positions of head of state and head
of government are merged in a parliament-dependent President. It is one of the founding members
of the African Union, and has the largest economy of all the members. It is also a founding member
of the United Nations and NEPAD.
SOUTH AFRICAN FLAG
The current flag of the Republic of South Africa was adopted on 27 April 1994, at the beginning of
the 1994 general election, to replace the flag that had been used since 1928. The new national flag,
designed by Herald Frederick Brownell, was chosen to represent the new democracy. The flag has
horizontal bands of red (on the top) and blue (on the bottom), of equal width, separated by a central
green band which splits into a horizontal "Y" shape, the arms of which end at the corners of the hoist
side (and follow the flag's diagonals). The Y embraces a black isosceles triangle from which the
arms are separated by narrow yellow bands; the red and blue bands are separated from the green
band and its arms by narrow white stripes. The stripes at the fly end are in the 5:1:3:1:5 ratio.

CAPE TOWN
Cape Town (Afrikaans: Kaapstad; Xhosa: iKapa) is the second-most populous city in South Africa,
and the largest in land area, forming part of the City of Cape Town metropolitan municipality. It
is the provincial capital and primate city of the Western Cape, as well as the legislative capital of
South Africa, where the National Parliament and many government offices are located. The city
is famous for its harbour as well as its natural setting in the Cape floral kingdom, including such
well-known landmarks as Table Mountain and Cape Point. Cape Town is also Africa's most popular
tourist destination. Located on the shore of Table Bay, Cape Town was originally developed by
the Dutch East India Company as a victualling (supply) station for Dutch ships sailing to Eastern
Africa, India, and the Far East. Jan van Riebeeck's arrival on 6 April 1652 established the first
permanent European settlement in South Africa. Cape Town quickly outgrew its original purpose as
the first European outpost at the Castle of Good Hope, becoming the economic and cultural hub of
the Cape Colony. Until the Witwatersrand Gold Rush and the development of Johannesburg, Cape
Town was the largest city in South Africa. Today it is one of the most multicultural cities in the
world, reflecting its role as a major destination for immigrants and expatriates to South Africa.
JOHANNESBURG
Johannesburg also known as Jozi, Jo'burg or Egoli, is the largest city in South Africa, by population.
Johannesburg is the provincial capital of Gauteng, the wealthiest province in South Africa, having the
largest economy of any metropolitan region in Sub-Saharan Africa. The city is one of the 40 largest
metropolitan areas in the world, and is also the world’s largest city not situated on a river, lake, or
coastline. While Johannesburg is not officially one of South Africa’s three capital cities, it does house
the Constitutional Court, South Africa’s highest court. The city is the source of a large-scale gold and
diamond trade, due to its location on the mineral-rich Witwatersrand range of hills. Johannesburg is
served by O.R. Tambo International Airport, the largest and busiest airport in Africa and a gateway
for international air travel to and from the rest of Southern Africa.
PRETORIA
Pretoria is a city located in the northern part of Gauteng Province, South Africa. It is one of the
country’s three capital cities, serving as the executive (administrative) and de facto national capital;
the others are Cape Town, the legislative capital, and Bloemfontein, the judicial capital. Pretoria is
popularly known as the Jacaranda City due to the enormous number of Jacaranda trees planted in
streets, parks and gardens. In flowering time, the city appears blue/purple in colour when seen from
the nearby hills because of all the Jacaranda trees. The time of year the Jacarandas bloom in
Pretoria coincides with the year-end exams at the University of Pretoria. Legend has it that if a flower
from the Jacaranda tree drops on your head, you will pass all your exams.

streams and an abundance of trees and indigenous flora - all contribute to make Paarl, Wellington,
the Breede River Valley, Klein Karoo and Langkloof some of South Africa's most diverse regions. This

Zoar and the fruit growing and wine producing towns of Barrydale, Montagu, Ashton, Bonnievale,

The Garden Route is a popular and scenic stretch of the south-eastern coast of South Africa. It
stretches from Mossel Bay in the Western Cape to the Storms River which is crossed along the N2
coastal highway over the Paul Sauer Bridge in the extreme western reach of the neighbouring Eastern
Cape. The name comes from the verdant and ecologically diverse vegetation encountered here and
the numerous lagoons and lakes dotted along the coast. It includes towns such as Mossel Bay,
Knysna, Oudtshoorn, Plettenberg Bay and Nature's Valley; with George, the Garden Route's largest
city and main administrative centre.
DURBAN
Durban is a natural paradise known for its beautiful stretch of sun-kissed beaches and subtropical
climate, situated on the eastern coast of Africa. The city focuses on providing visitors with a unique
set of experiences that go beyond the beach and into the realm of Durban’s diverse culture, urban
lifestyle and scenic diversity. The City of Durban is an elegant, mature and ambitious city. It is a
trendsetter in offering great lifestyle, speckled with adventure activities, blessed with natural beauty
and is an astonishingly comfortable city.
PORT ELIZABETH
The Nelson Mandela Metro (including Port Elizabeth, Uitenhage and Despatch) is the gateway to
the Eastern Cape Region, its well-equipped airport and harbour linking South Africa with other
national and international destinations. Known as the "Friendly City", Port Elizabeth is located on the
south-eastern coast, 763 km east of Cape Town. Algoa Bay's 40 km of breathtaking coastline boasts
a perfect combination of warm water, protected beaches and is complemented by Port Elizabeth's
wonderful climate, which has been rated as having the fourth best weather of any coastal city in the
world. The Port Elizabeth area also supports the most diverse array of vegetation types in South
Africa as five of the country's seven terrestrial biogeographic areas are represented in the Eastern
Cape.

gardens just outside Nelspruit boasts a rare collection of plant species and the first man-made rain
forest which attracts the majority of Nelspruit’s visitors. Nearby Sudwala caves, a dinosaur park and
cultural centre will expose your senses to the most primitive of Africa’s history. A short distance away
from Nelspruit is the gold mining town of Kaapsehoop where the mist filled evenings and herds of
wild horses grazing in the town will transport you into memories of the past. The mountains in and
around Nelspruit provide much in the way of camping and hiking trails with varying levels of intensity.
