What comes to mind when
you hear South Africa?

Did you know?

In 1948, the South African government made new laws to keep the white and black people apart. This system was called 'apartheid'.

 

Nelson Mandela, a politician, fought against this system and spent 27 years in prison as a result. 

A few years after he was released, he became the first black President of South Africa. After his death he is still seen as a hero and is mostly remembered for bringing people together to live in peace. 

Did you know?

There are a lot of cities with Dutch names in South Africa. 17th-century Dutch colonists spoke the language which later became Afrikaans, a language with Dutch-sounding words.
