Who would have thought that South Africa manage to chase his old demons and regain the path of civil peace and respectability?
The system of racial segregation (apartheid) in force since 1948 was abolished on 30 June 1991. In April 1994, the South Africans took part in the first democratic and non-racial elections ever held in their country. After 27 years in prison, the most famous political prisoner in the world, Nelson Mandela became the most admired head of state of the planet. The "nation Arc-en-Ciel" was experiencing a true state of grace.
South Africa opted despite real violence, for reconciliation solution. Humanistic philosophy of some men, coupled with great pragmatism, managed to put together, in peace, one of the most dramatic political reversals that history has known, avoiding a civil war and the flight of large capital. In a decade and a half, South Africa has become a democratic and multi-racial nation that astonishes the world.
Much remains to be done to abolish the social and economic segregation. You will meet a South African multifaceted, often poignant, which attempts to reshuffle the cards a little more fair, after centuries of torment and injustice.
South Africa has a relief of infinite variety and landscape of remarkable beauty. Bathed by two oceans (Atlantic and Indian), is a mosaic of endless steppes, savannahs, mountains, deserts, beaches with turquoise waters, large cities in the US, small Zulu villages outside time.
It goes almost without transition of Cape Town's trendy to the poorest townships; wild Garden Route urban fury of Gauteng; not to mention the rich wildlife parks.
