South Africa
South Africa is a country located in the southern part of Africa. It is bathed by the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, has a temperate climate, a predominantly dry vegetation and the presence of large wild animals.
South Africa's history is marked by the racial segregation regime called apartheid, which paraded South African society into whites and blacks. The separation regime was surpassed in the 1990s with the election of Nelson Mandela, the first black president elected by the local population.
The country is made up of 58 million inhabitants, who have a diverse culture due to the diversity of cultural practices existing in the region. South Africa's economic base is the primary sector, with emphasis on gold and diamond exploration. The government regime of the country is that of a parliamentary republic. Its infrastructure is still quite precarious, due to the low volume of public investments.
african fauna:
Africa has perhaps the world's largest combination of density and wildlife populations and diversity, with wild populations of large carnivores (such as lions, hyenas and cheetahs) and herbivores (such as buffaloes, elephants, camels, and Giraffes) that vary freely on mostly unopened plains.
It is also home to a wide variety of animals, which includes snakes and primates and aquatic life such as crocodiles and amphibians. In addition, Africa has the largest number of megafauna species, as it was less affected by extinction in the
Pleistocene.
TYPICAL DISHES:
Typical South African dish: Biltong
One of the most typical and consumed dishes in South Africa is biltong, a kind of dried meat that was created as a method of preserving food. The meat is cut into thick strips and then vinegar, salts and spices such as coriander, peppers and cloves are applied. Originally, the meat was dried in the open air, in the sun, but today electric ovens are also used to speed up the process.
Typical South African dish: Boerewors
This South African delicacy resembles Brazilian sausage and its name means something like “farmer's sausage”. It is a sausage made mainly from beef and partly from pork or lamb and spices. It is usually served with pap (a polenta-like food) or grilled and served on bread, like a hot dog.
Typical South African dish: Potjiekos
Translated as "small pot of food", this typical South African dish, potjiekos is a meat stew made in a small iron pot, hence its name. This is a party dish, prepared on the street and can take a few hours to get ready while people socialize. It is made with some type of meat, vegetables, spices and some type of alcoholic beverage, such as beer, sherry or wine.
