tretching along the Indian Oceans

The coastlines of South Africa
are bordered by the Atlantic Ocean
to the west and the warm Indian Ocean
to the east
South Africa has a temperate and pleasant climate
with warm sunny days for most of the year
The seasons in the Southern Hemisphere
are the opposite of those in the Northern Hemisphere
so South Africa’s summer season
runs from November to February
and is characterized
by a warm to hot climate in most areas
Different from most countries
South Africa has three capitals namely Pretoria
Cape Town and Bloemfontein
Each city
serves as a hub for different branches of government
Pretoria is the administrative capital
while Cape Town is the legislative capital
and Bloemfontein the judicial capital
Due to its dependence on foreign trade
the South African economy
is sensitive to global economic conditions
Precious and base metals have been the main exports
agricultural products and military equipment
also play a vital role

chemical products and motor vehicles

the United States Germany and Japan

Development Community (SADC)

trade as part of its agenda

Within this area
member states removed tariffs
on trade with each other
but remained free
to impose their own external
tariffs on non-member nations
As the industrial hub of Africa
South Africa is rich in natural resources
making it one of the largest
and well-developed economies on the continent
It has great
potential as an investment destination
with a highly developed
economic infrastructure
and is one of the most promising
and dynamic emerging market economies
in the world
South Africa is often referred
to as the “Land of the Rainbow”
as it is one of the most multicultural countries
in the world

have made up the whole population
creating a society of diverse races
cultures languages and beliefs
from the black indigenous tribes
of South Africa to the peoples
of Europe India Malaysia and China
In addition
there is no official state religion in South Africa
due to the characteristics of a multinational country
According to a 2013 General Household Survey
the majority of South Africans are Christian
and the rest identified as traditional African religions
Islam and Hindu
It is imperative that
those who wish to do business in South Africa
have a proper understanding of the
complex culture of South Africa
