| South Africa is the richest and most highly developed country in Africa. It occupies about 4 per cent of the continent's area and has only about 6 per cent of its people. Yet the country produces two-fifths of Africa's manufactured goods, nearly half its minerals, and a fifth of its farm products. South Africa generates more than half the continent's electricity and has about half its automobiles and half its telephones. |
