Quiz: How much do you know about South Africa?

South Africa is a big land with many voices because it has eleven main languages. It has not one but three capital towns, called Pretoria, Cape Town, and Bloemfontein. This place gives the world most of its shiny platinum and has made more gold than almost anywhere else before. It also has Kruger Park, a giant animal land that is even larger than the whole country of Israel. The edge of South Africa touches two seas, the Atlantic and the Indian, and the coastline goes on for more than 2,500 kilometers. From old cave drawings by the San people to doctors making the first heart change, South Africa’s story is wide and full like its mountains and fields.
