south Africa
HISTORY
The first people who walked on South Africa were called the Khoekhoe. 100,000 years people have lived there. of course this place is a treasure chest. Settlers landed on that island and shorted the percentage of the Khoekhoe tribe by smallpox. They had a bad relationship because the settlers began stealing their cattle and taking there crops. They also took some of the people and turned them into slaves. the lucky Khoekhoe people immigrated. South Africa began a cultural mix. especially when the religion for Islam came upon South Africa. South Africa, on the continent's southern tip, is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the west and by the Indian Ocean on the south and east. Its neighbors are Namibia in the northwest, Zimbabwe and Botswana in the north, and Mozambique and Swaziland in the northeast. The government is Republic.
NOW
The president is Jacob Zuma! they do not have a prime mister because it was replaced with the executive title of State president.
In South Africa today there is a man named Oscar Pistorius who is getting mentally evaluated for third degree murder. The EFF (Economic Freedom Fighters) are fighting for freedom. Also miners began striking. So far it has been 16 weeks. They want a larger amount in their pay. They will not give up until they get the pay they wanted. there boss expected them to come back soon. but so far they are winning. Also young African American woman are now getting the chance to work big jobs like men do. They want the same dignity and respect like men. Women are free to dress how they want, and just be happy without a man telling them what to do. They are finally ' taking a seat among equals"
