It is bordered by Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe to the north, and Mozambique and Swaziland to the north east; the rest of the country lies on the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. It is divided into 9 administrative provinces.
It covers a total area of 1,219,090 km² and has a population of 50,132,817. The country’s landscape consists mainly of plateaus, with the exception of the Lowveld alluvial plain, the semi-desert basins of the Great and Little Karoo, and the Kalahari Desert, this last territory being shared with Namibia. It has 3 capitals, though only Pretoria is recognised internationally, being the seat of government. The local currency is the Rand. The South African economy is based mainly on mining (gold, iron, platinum, diamonds, chrome, coal) and related processing industries.
South Africa is also one of the world’s biggest sheep wool producers.
