Notes:
- The rich
diamond mines of Kimberley and gold
discoveries on the Witwatersrand, changed
South Africa virtually overnight, from a
backward area into one of the world's
richest countries.
-
Archbishop Desmond
Tutu's racial harmony message was, " Let
us be channels of love, of peace, of
reconciliation. Let us declare that we
have been made for family, that, yes, now
we are free, all of us, black and white
together, we, the Rainbow People of
God."
-
The word Apartheid"
stands for segregation of various races
and separate development programs.
Apartheid's core policy was created by
British policies of the early
1900s.
-
Much of South
Africa's territory, beyond the
metropolitan areas, seems almost empty.
For example, great stretches of the
Kalahari are virtually uninhabitable.
Grazing lands and farms in the Karoo and
Free State occupy vast areas. Settlements
are spread sparsely along the
watercourses.
