South Africa

We have been working with South Africa for some weeks. Please tell me something about the country.

South Africa is a country in the south of Africa (very funny...). The most of the people in SA (South Africa) are black, who talks many languages, and the 5 biggest is english, africaans, zulu and xhosa (sorry, cant remember the last). The land was conqured by the whites, and the black in the country was suffering and seperated from the white. In 1996 (i think), the black was no longer under control of the white, and could live free.

Who is Nelson Mandela?

Tell me what you know about Nelson Mandela. You are not going to make a long and detailed biografy - pretend that I don't know this man. How would you introduce him for me?

Neson Mandela is a black man who struggled agains apartheid. He gave the black people hope and did make peaceful some demonstrations agains discrimination and segregation. The white repuplic did arrest him, and he was in prison for 28 (or 29) years. After 28 years in prison he still struggled against apartheid. Finally the white was defeated, and Mandela was choosen as the new president in South Africa.
