Africa is iconic wildlife, stunning geography, wonderous architecture, and bustling cities - and well over an estimated 1000 languages. Here we give you the 13 that will open your mind - and mouth - to this amazing continent. From Afrikaans to Zulu, talk your way to where you want to go, and what you want to do.
WITHIN weeks, Jacob Zuma is set to become the most powerful man in Africa, a continent of a billion souls that is still the poorest and, despite recent improvements, the worst governed on the planet. South Africa provides more than a third of the 48 sub-Saharan economies’ total GDP. It is Africa’s sole member of the G20 group of influential countries and packs a punch in global diplomacy. Its emergence from the gruesome era of apartheid is a miracle of reconciliation. Africans across the continent and oppressed peoples elsewhere still look to South Africa’s leader as a beacon of hope.
