SOUTH AFRICA

South Africa occupies the southernmost tip of the African continent, with coastline along both the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. It has one of Africa’s most complex modern histories, shaped by Dutch and British colonialism, a system of institutionalized racial segregation known as apartheid that lasted until 1994, and a post-apartheid constitutional democracy that has made it one of the continent’s most visited and most studied nations.
