South Africa is a smallish country on the southernmost tip of the continent of Africa. There is no such thing as 'North Africa'. Just look at a map of Africa and you'll see what I mean.
AnswerSouth Africa is not really a smallish country. It's area is 1,219,912 km² which makes it the 9th largest country after Sudan, Algeria, DRC, Libya, Chad, Niger, Angola and Mali. For US citizens, compare to Texas which is half that size at 678,050 km²Geographically Southern Africa on the other hand is made up of South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe although this is expanded when you refer to the Southern African Coordination Conference (SADCC). The member states are as follows:Angola, Botswana, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Mauritius and the Seychelles are both Indian ocean islands on the East of Madagascar.
North Africa generally refers to all African countries north of the Sahara desert and this includes Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Egypt and Libya
