South Africa is a southern‑most African nation bordered by Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Eswatini, and Lesotho (an enclave). It has three capital cities: Pretoria (administrative), Cape Town (legislative), and Bloemfontein (judicial). The country is known for its diverse cultures, 11 official languages (including Zulu, Xhosa, Afrikaans, and English), and a history of apartheid that ended with the 1994 democratic election of Nelson Mandela as president. Its economy is the most industrialized in Africa, driven by mining (gold, diamonds, platinum), agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism, with major cities such as Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban.
