About South Africa

A state in southern Africa. It borders on Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Eswatini. It is washed by the waters of the Atlantic and Indian oceans. The Republic of South Africa (South Africa) is the most economically developed country on the continent and the only African country participating in the G20.

Manganese, platinum, gold, vanadium, zirconium, coal and other minerals are mined in South Africa. Only 15% of the country's area is suitable for agriculture, but thanks to the developed agricultural technology, South Africa covers its food needs and grows about 140 types of fruits for export. In addition, winemaking, fishing, forestry and tourism are developing in the country.
