To the north lie Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe; to the east are Mozambique and Swaziland; while Lesotho is an independent country wholly surrounded by South African territory. South Africa is known for a diversity in cultures and languages. Eleven official languages are recognised in the constitution. Two of these languages are of European origin: Afrikaans, a language which originated mainly from Dutch that is spoken by the majority of white and Coloured South Africans, and South African English. Though English has a large role in public and commercial life, it is nevertheless only the fifth most-spoken home language. South Africa is ethnically diverse. About 79.5% of the South African population is of black African ancestry, divided among a variety of ethnic groups speaking different Bantu languages, nine of which have official status. South Africa also contains the largest European, Indian, and racially mixed communities in Africa. About a quarter of the population is unemployed and lives on less than US $1.25 a day. South Africa is the most populous country in the world to have legalized same-sex marriage throughout its entire territory. South Africa is a constitutional democracy in the form of a parliamentary republic with a parliamentarily-dependent head of state. It is one of the founding members of the African Union, and has the largest economy of all the members. It is also a founding member of the United Nations and NEPAD. South Africa is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, Antarctic Treaty System, Group of 77, South Atlantic Peace and Cooperation Zone, Southern African Customs Union, World Trade Organization, International Monetary Fund, G20 and G8+5.

Q. I may have too much baggage when I return to South Africa on the 30th of December. I have a family of four and we can each take a maximum of 20 kilo's. We have 2 big suitcases and 2 smaller ones. Then we have a heavy box and one light box. I'm not sure how much we may have over the prescribed weight. Can you offer any ideas on how to cut the weight? The heavy box is filled with presents. The other heavy suitcase is filled with old clothes I wanna give to the poor in South Africa. A real dilemma! Asked by Porgie - Thu Dec 14 06:50:54 2006 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Wow, you do have a dilemma on your hands. When we moved to Australia we were allowed 40 kilos each - and still struggled with the baggage weight. We had to pack and re-pack about 10 times to be in the 160 kilo limit. We did figure out one trick that worked quite well : we took our hand luggage and put our heaviest stuff in there. We made sure that the hand luggage bags looked 'small' enough to take on board and were really really heavy... It was a pain to carry around that weight but it was worth it in the end. By the way - they didn't weigh our hand luggage, a stroke of luck ! Also - go through everything again and leave behind the stuff that you really really really don't need ! Hope everything works out ! And have a fabulous time in SA..
