South Africa - : 'a world in one country'
The new South Africa born in 1994 with the first democratic elections is today considered as a serious role player in the international community.

Considered as the 'gateway to Africa' South Africa plays an important part in the affairs of Africa as a continent and in the African Union, with South Africa hosting the inauguration of the African Union in Durban in 2002.
 
Our government comprises a constitutional multi-party, three-tier (local, provincial, national) democracy. There are nine provinces.

South Africa boasts a population of 44.8 million, made up of a mulititude of cultures with eleven official languages and a literacy rate of 93%
 
Its growing and stable economy make it the perfect place for foreign investment, and with its current exchange rate many foreigners have not been able to resist the excellent value for money in purchasing property and holiday homes in some of the world's most beautiful and aesthetic locations. Key economic sectors include mining services, transport, energy, manufacturing, tourism and agriculture. Value Added Tax (VAT) is currently levied at 14%. Tourists may apply for tax refunds on purchases over R250 on leaving the country.
 
South Africa's road and rail air transport infrastructure rank highly by international standards, allowing for safe and comfortable travelling and touring to all the beautiful locations our country has to offer.

Our world-class telecommunications infrastructure is ranked 23rd in telecommunications development worldwide. Internet access is widely available and there are three main mobile (cellular) networks.
 

Top quality health care is available throughout the country, although rather basic in the rural areas. Medical / Travel insurance is advised though if you want access to the best healthcare.
