wow what is your problem? You have a whole bunch of silly questions. Why cant you look these up yourself? How are you possibly going to be able to succeed at higher education and analysis things when you cant even research and LIST facts on your own.

Another lazy oxygen thief trying to get someone else to do their work for them... GrayBlack....jeeez, did you actually go to school...EVER?!!! Oppie Koffie????? Hilarious! Padme, you'll get better info in the Mongolia section, I think....

It's old enough to know better. Our events are overhyped, yet not really famous. The kind of government that lies through it's teeth. (Probably the same as yours) There are some good-looking females around. Working for a paycheque is a common method, though some people sell stuff (refrigerators, bubblegum, gold stocks, etc.) GrayBlack - Young man, like Padme you have stumbled into the wrong place. However, if you would look up the medical section, there may just be a "Lets hope for a brain replacement procedure" section. I think you it will suit you better.

geeeeeeeeeeeshhhhhhh, the guys who answered before me are idiots!!!! ill help you, as much as possible. regarding history: here are some facts that you can google There were settlers here back....way back....they were called the San, khoi khoi, Hottentots...etc. Jan van riebeck landed in the cape and made it a trading station for ships the settlers were used as slaves There was a boer war --- a war between the Dutch, british and the Zulus Now regarding age of South Africa ---- i think google that. perhaps the question you need a answer for is when did South Africa gain its independence from colonialism.. regarding famous events (im confused with this---are you referring to famous places? or famous celebrations?...well the following relates to famous attractions, famous events and places, google the following: H2o, Table mountain, Robben island, Oppie Coffee, sun city, Gold reef city, Kruger national park. Perhaps for your history lesson, google "big hole in kimberley", "Johannesburg - the place of gold" Type of government... South africa is a democratic country ruled by a political party chosen by the people every 4 or so years. a political party is a group of individuals organised in a hierarchy type setup where decisions are made by collaboration. Political party strength is determined by how many parliament seats they have, which is determined by the percentage of votes they received. so ANC is the ruling party, and have majority parliament seats, because they had majority votes. Regarding how money is made...this baffles me!! South africans work for a living too you know. its not like we stuck in prehistoric times and grow tamotoes and trade for potatoes. We too have corporate structure! just like any other country. I think its cool that you have interest in South Africa. this does seem like a homework assignment, but atleast you can learn. oh yes, one last thing, South Africa is a multi-cultural country. We have indians (from india), Whites (two types --- decendants of the british, and decendents of the dutch), Coloureds (What Mariah Carey is), blacks (decendents of various tribes and settlers -- Zulu's, Xhosa's, etc).....And there are 11 official languages...English, Afrikaans, Zulu, Xhosi, Sepedi, Tswana just to mention a few. i hope this helps... keep well...
