The purpose of this post is to make you familiar with this amazing country. Firstly, I want to give you general information about the country. The post will end with interesting facts, facts you should know about this great country.
The currency used in South-Africa is the South-African Rand, and R10 is about €0,72. The official name of the country is Republic of South-Africa and it is a federal state. South-Africa has nine provinces, which vary considerably in size. The major part of the inhabitants are Black African's, namely around the 80%.
