A Republic composed of nine Provinces
The two joint architects of the New South Africa - The Rainbow Nation
Two great men who jointly founded the New South Africa
F W de Klerk
He wisely handed over power
Nelson Mandela
He accepted and used power wisely
While credit must be given to the above named founders for the smooth transition of power and the avoidance of turmoil, it
may be a mistake to see everything with rose-tinted glasses. Mandela's successors have not always kept faith with his
vision. Today's South Africa suffers from serious governance and law and order problems. There have also been disturbing
reports of violence against farmers and the disenfranchisement of a section of the population that was deemed to
have benefited from the previous dispensation. It is hoped that these problems can be recognised and addressed so that
the new South Africa can realise its full potential. In the meantime, it is still an attractive country with much
to offer and it's worth keeping tabs on its real estate.
