It is surrounded by Zimbabwe, Namibia and Botswana.  It is the 25th largest country in the world as per its area. It has a population of about 53 million. Around 80% population is Christian by religion and  they speak the English and other local languages.

South is one of the few countries in the world with more than one capital city. It has three capitals Bloemfontein(Executive), Cape Town (Legislative) and Pretoria(Administrative).
