SOUTH AFRICA, THE RAINBOW NATION
Despite scars of the past and challenges of the future, South Africa is the most developed nation on the African continent. Freedom was regained after the end of apartheid regime, but social inequality continues to segregate a large portion of the population. The political and social structure holds different ethnic groups, languages and religions together, but structural unemployment and the negative impact of Zuma's government lead the nation to adopt bitter and unpopular measures, increasing general dissatisfaction.
South Africa is the natural choice for a first trip to the continent. For those who have been, it is impossible not to wish to return. Infrastructure and services are excellent, climate is welcoming and nature is unique, all organized by a well developed tourism industry. The nickname of rainbow nation, popularized by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, refers to the union of diverse ethnicities and cultures. South Africa is also a world precursor in the equality of civil rights for all genders and the first african nation to recognize same-sex marriages.
