Fifteen years after the release of Nelson Mandela, South Africa has made significant progress from its reputation as the “Evil Fist” of apartheid.
There are still significant racial tensions within South Africa and high rates of violent crime, but the tourists are arriving in droves nonetheless, especially to the Western Cape and picture-postcard city of Capetown – the gateway to the soaring mountains, verdant vineyards and glistening beaches.
South Africa bills itself as 'a world in one country' and the mix of thriving metropolitan centres, shopping meccas that cater for designer tastes, tribal traditional food, clothing, music and dance as well as cutting edge technology centres all help to enhance that tag.
The northern areas of South Africa reflect the country's wild beginnings, with gold mines, hot dusty towns and salty locals ready to regale the traveller with hair-raising (and tall) tales. Johannesburg is here, the ragtag mix of ethnic groups, socio-economic groups, food, music and ongoing conflict in the wake of South Africa's shift to a free democracy.
The South is home to the modern Capetown; a sophisticated city that is fast becoming one of the world's most attractive cities, in both aesthetic terms and in terms of economic, educational and commercial ventures.
South Africa's warm weather, clean coast and sincere efforts to stabilise its tourism industry to encourage visitors have turned this once outcast country into one of the world's tourism hotspots.
