Why move there.

You should move to South Africa if you like warm climate. The beautiful savanna with all the wild animals is a must to see if you are in South Africa. They have good food as monkey gland steak and they have the longest wine rout in the world . They have a democracy. The people in South Africa is nice. They have the third best tap water in the world so you don't need to by bottled water.

When

Black South Africans are descendants of immigrants from further north in Africa who first entered what are now the confines of the country roughly one thousand years ago. White South Africans are descendants of later European settlers, mainly from the Netherlands and Britain, thats why they speak english in South Afruca. Since the establishing of the Union of South Africa in 1910, South Africa had four provinces consisting of the divisions which existed prior to the Second Boer War: two British colonies (the Cape Colony and Natal Colony) and two Boer republics (the Orange Free State and Transvaal Republic). Segregation of the black population started as early as 1913, with ownership of land by the black majority being restricted to certain areas totaling about 13% of the country.

Where!

South Africa is located at the southern tip of Africa, with a long coastline that stretches more than 2,500 km (1,553 mi) and along two oceans (the South Atlantic and the Indian).The interior of South Africa is a vast, flat, and sparsely populated scrubland, the Karoo, which is drier towards the northwest along the Namib desert. In contrast, the eastern coastline is lush and well-watered, which produces a climate similar to the tropics. South Africa has a generally temperate climate, due in part to being surrounded by the Atlantic and Indian Oceans on three sides, by its location in the climatically milder southern hemisphere and due to the average elevation rising steadily towards the north (towards the equator) and further inland. Due to this varied topography and oceanic influence, a great variety of climatic zones exist. South Africa is ranked sixth out of the world’s seventeen megadiverse countries,[ with more than 20,000 different plants, or about 10% of all the known species of plants on Earth, making it particularly rich in plant biodiversity.The have the Tugela Falls who is the second highest waterfall in the world, where the water tumbles down 850 metres.
