Transcript

The Republic of South Africa is a country located at the southern tip of the continent of Africa. It

has a very long coast along both the Atlantic and Indian oceans. The Cape of Good Hope, at the

southernmost point of South Africa, has been an important place in sailing history. It has a long history that includes many challenges.

About 50 million people live in South Africa today. It is 79.5% Black, 9.2% White, 8.9% coloured, and 2.5% Asian. Coloured is a term used formally in South Africa for mixed race. Race has been a very important part of its history. For many years, Black and coloured South Africans had few rights. Today, the situation is much better.
