South Africa is located on the Southern-most tip of the African continent. It is frequently used (by American and English-speaking multi-nationals) as a base for their African operations. This is due to its extensive infrastructure (communications, transport and other) and relatively stable and well-regulated economy.

“ǃke e꞉ Ixarra Ike” (IXam)

| Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika Maluphakanyisw’ uphondo lwayo, | Xhosa | God bless Africa May her glory be lifted high, |
| Yizwa imithandazo yethu, Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho Iwayo. | Zulu | Hear our petitions Lord bless us, your children. |
| Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso, O fedise dintwa le matshwenyeho, O se boloke, O se boloke setjhaba sa heso, Setjhaba sa, South Afrika, South Afrika. | SeSotho | Lord we ask You to protect our nation, Intervene and end all conflicts, Protect us, protect our nation, Protect South Africa, South Africa. |
| Uit die blou van onse hemel, Uit die diepte van ons see, Oor ons ewige gebergtes, Waar die kranse antwoord gee, | Afrikaans | Out of the blue of our heavens, From the depths of our seas, Over everlasting mountains, Where the echoing wreaths resound, |
| Sounds the call to come together, And united we shall stand, Let us live and strive for freedom In South Africa our land. | English |
