Südafrika, located at the southern tip of the African continent, is known for its diverse landscapes, including mountains, deserts, and coastlines. The country has three capital cities: Pretoria, Bloemfontein, and Kapstadt (Cape Town). It is rich in natural resources and is famous for its wildlife, particularly in national parks like Kruger Nationalpark. The nation has a complex history, marked by the struggle against apartheid, a system of institutionalized racial segregation. Key figures in this movement include Nelson Mandela, who became the first black president in 1994. Today, Südafrika is celebrated for its cultural diversity and vibrant cities.
