1) South African economics are some of the most advanced in Africa; however, many countries are struggling to raise standard livings for blacks due to the policy of apartheid (laws of segregation).

2) South Africa has great cities, industrial complexes, modern/mechanized farms, and large ranches, but it also has poverty-stricken rural areas due to unequal land, housing, and money distribution by the government

3) For example, Botswana has a great deal of money from its abundance of diamonds but it has serious agricultural problems and an unequal distribution of wealth.

4) A minority of the population grows wealthy from diamond money, including farmers

5) By 2006, the most severe 🤬-affected countries were in South Africa. For example, 25% of adults in Zimbabwe and Botswana were infected with HIV, decreasing the countries’ life expectancies from 60 years old to 39 years old in 5 years.

A man named Mutota left Great Zimbabwe around 1440. He founded a new state to replace Great Zimbabwe. This was called the Mutapa Empire, which was also a major area for gold trade. In the 1500s the Portuguese arrived and interferes with there politics causeing there delcine.

The Zulu controled a large part of Southern Africa in the 19th century. The British defeated the Zulu in the late 19th century and took over there land.the British battled the Dutch farmers for control of the region and won. This is known as the Boer War. The British formed the union of South Africa soon afterwards.

In 1948 apartheid was put in place which separated races. Even though blacks made up 75% of the population they received a small amount of land. In 1912 the blacks formed the African National Congress to fight for there rights. In 1949 Nelson Mandela became a leader of the ANC and led a long battle to over turn the apartheid. The apartheid was eventually over turned in 1996.
