Introduction to Radio Concepts Training Course in South Africa

Formerly known as Union of South Africa, now officially known as Republic of South Africa is the Southernmost country in Africa. South Africa's population is over 60 million people, which makes the country the world's 23rd-most populous nation. South Africa has three capital cities: executive Pretoria, judicial Bloemfontein and legislative Cape Town, while the largest city is Johannesburg. The official languages of South Africa are Afrikaans, English, Ndebele, Pedi, Sotho, Swati, Tsonga, Tswana, Venda, Xhosa and Zulu.

South Africa can be rainy from November to February, so the best time to visit South Africa is from May to September. Despite the rainy season South Africa is a year-round destination, with varying regional climates. Blyde River Canyon, Durban, Drakensberg, Kruger National Park and of course, Cape Town are the tourist attractions of the country.
