About South Africa
Unravel the beauty of South Africa with its famous wildlife, rich culture, and awe-inspiring natural beauty. The country is located on the southernmost tip of the African continent. The country has three surprising capitals, and you might be wondering why so here's the reason. It is because the South African Government is divided into three sections based on these three capitals. The thought about this came from the Union of South Africa when it was created. Concerns were raised, and they believed that too much power shouldn't be in one place. The three capitals were; Pretoria, the administrative capital, Cape Town, the legislative capital, and Bloemfontein, the judicial capital of the country. Most of the landscape of South Africa is made up of high and flat areas called plateaus. The blooming country has its own serenity, and there is so much more that you have to discover only in South Africa.
