South Africa is in reality many nations all in one, having suffered from much racial friction between the various elements of this very diverse society. Cut adrift from the rest of the developed world in the 1980s due to the country’s record on human rights and inequality amongst the population, it was reintroduced to the world in a blaze of publicity after the last vestiges of apartheid were removed. While relationships between the ethnic parties in the country still require much work, there is definitely a move forward which has lead to its first African government instituted in the country.
While South Africa is classed as a developing nation, there are areas such as Durban, Cape Town, etc which are fully developed, but progress among the outer towns and villages is very slow. The problems of the past have over shadowed what South Africa has to offer, with some of the most beautiful scenery you could hope for, with extreme desert conditions in the South and lush green flora in the North. These positive attributes are attracting more Expats wanting to live in South Africa between the various elements of this diverse society.
