A GUIDE TO SOUTH AFRICA

population are  black African and the remaining 15% consists of white, colored and Asians. Its biggests cities are Johannesburg  which is known as  the City of Gold, Cape Town which is known as in the Shadow of the Mountain, Port Elizabeth which is known as the Friendly City on the Coast and Durban which is known as the Balmy, Holiday City. South Africa operates two hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time throughout the year, making it an hour ahead of Central European Winter Time, seven hours ahead of Eastern Standard Winter Time and seven hours behind Australian Central Time. The Countries National park is known to be one of the biggest in Southern Africa and its animal reserve centre consists of all sorts of wild animal, which you hardly see these days. Weekends in Durban well make anyone want to stay forever because the city holds some of the most entertaining places of all time. South Africa is also known for its traditional dishes and wine; the wine is worth travelling halfway round the world for. South Africa boasts some of the finest beaches in the world, I must say that our beaches are so much more than a haven for sun-worshippers and surfers… there is so much to see and do along our dramatic coastline. South Africans very much cherish the freedom they have obtained, but to be able to remember what they went through and feel proud about how they came through it, museums have been built in almost every part of its cities.  More than 300 museums all over the country reflect this heritage in a range of places - from elegant 18th century homes to caves in majestic mountain ranges, cultural villages in rural settings to state-of-the-art buildings in major cities. Special Days are set aside to celebrate in memories of those who fought but didn’t get to enjoy the freedom of their beloved Country.
