South Africa, the jewel at the tip of Africa, is the continent’s economic powerhouse and business gateway to the hinterland. One eighth the size of the United States of America and nearly five times the size of the United Kingdom, South Africa commands more than 1,2 million square kilometres of some of the most geographically diverse and stunning land in the world. A World In One Country. South Africa comprises nine provinces, one of which is KwaZulu-Natal (Zulu Kingdom) where our Games host city of Durban is located. South Africa, home to some 47 million people, has 11 official languages, although English is widely spoken and is considered to be the country’s language of business. A number of international sporting events were hosted with great success over the years, such as the 1995 Rugby World Cup, the ODI Cricket World Cup, the 2007 20-20 ICC Cricket World Cup, and the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup. |
