South Africa is an economic powerhouse, it is the second largest economy after Nigeria on the continent. It is a former colony of both Holland and British and was also formally ruled by the white minority. South Africa governed its people utilizing an institutionalized discrimination policy known as apartheid. Over time this racist system was eliminated, culminating with the election of Nelson Mandela, jailed for 27 years, in 1994 as president. South Africa is a multi-ethnic country with the constitution recognizing 11 different languages.
I spent four nights in Cape Town, a fantastic city that exceeded its lofty expectations. I could have easily spent a week of two based in this city. This incredibly attractive city is nestled on the Atlantic Ocean and framed by the hulking Table Mountain. It is a great city to enjoy the waterfront with its great restaurants. I also took part in visiting some wineries and the penguins. I will need to go back for a second visit.

Hope you get to go back and spend more time.
