South Africa


Today I visited South Africa. Unlike most countries South Africa has three capitals. Pretoria is the executive capital. Bloemfontein is the judicial capital. Cape Town is the legislative capital. Some people know South Africa as the "Rainbow Nation." People may know it as this because, the people come from over 30 different ethnic groups. South Africa is one of the richest countries in Africa, but it also faces problems within the country. Over half the nation lives in poverty. Nearly 6 million people in South Africa have HIV/AIDS. Almost a thousand die from it every day. South Africa is the main producer of gold and diamonds. I went to Kruger National Park Today, and man was that a blast! You can see any kinds of animals ranging from an alligator to an Ellephant! There were leopards, giraffes, lions, monkeys, rhinos, and more! If you are ever looking for a new animal go to Kruger National Park it has every animal I can think of! Being in South Africa was amazing, and another adventure in Africa! Everyone would love to be here with me going through out Africa and discovering new things. Now I am of to a new exciting place.
