It gained its independence on May 31st, 1910. It is a parliamentary republic. The two biggest religions there are Christians at 86% and the second largest are other African religions such as animist, ancestral, and tribal at 5.4%. The two largest ethnic groups are the black Africans at 80.9% and Colored at 8.8%. There are 55,380,210 people and the population is growing quickly.

Finance at 20%, Government 18%, Trade 15%, Manufacturing 13%, Transportation and Communication 10%, Mining 8%, Personal services 6%, Construction 4%, Electricity 4%, and Agriculture at 3%. One challenge they have is a very uneducated population, they will not be able to grow as a country if nobody know how to do it or run it. South Africa is a perforated state because Lesotho is right in the middle of it and Swaziland is in part of it, South Africa also has a Mediterranean climate.

This forces the family to keep everyone working to keep the economy running and to make ends meet.
