Page 121 - WINE DINE AND TRAVEL FALL 2020 South Africa

et me take you on a tour of my country, the “Rainbow Nation” of
South Africa. With 11 official languages and many races, here you’ll
Lfind great cultural, historical and geographical diversity.
A common misconception I’ve encountered in my travels is that South
Africa is a region of the continent of Africa. But South Africa is an inde-
pendent country, the southernmost in Africa, and one 53 nations on the
continent. There are nine Provinces in the country, each with its own
unique cultural and geographical flavor.
Let’s explore them starting in the north with Limpopo.
