South Africa

The Republic of South Africa is called “the world in one country”. It is a country of mountains and forests, deserts and oceans, large cities and vast uninhabited spaces.
The cultural traditions of South Africa are very diverse. The most important ancient monument of the creativity of the South African peoples is rock art created by the Bushmen (images of animals and people were found in the Dragon Mountains). Even more ancient petroglyphs carved on stones along the banks of the rivers in the Transvaal and in the north of the Cape and depicting elephants, antelopes, and less often hunting scenes. From ancient times, the traditional occupation of the Bantu was cattle breeding and hoe farming, the Bushmen and Hottentots — mainly hunting, but in recent decades, the economy and life have changed markedly.
