South Africa

Diversity is a key feature of South Africa. It is the only country in the world, a “rainbow nation” where 11 languages are recognised as official, where foods from many cultures are enjoyed by all and especially marketed to tourists, where community leaders include rabbis and chieftains, rugby players and returned exiles, and where housing ranges from mud huts to palatial homes with swimming pools.

Over the past 15 years South Africa has experienced enormous change. The achievement of democracy in 1994 led to transformed institutions, new policies and the start of a new society, a true “rainbow nation”. Get ready to experience this diverse country!
