South Africa has one of the oldest inhabitants, the San people. Together with that archaelogical findings have proven that South Africa was the home to some of the earliest humans. Modern history shows that South Africa was at the centre of slave trade and colonisation. The British and Dutch fought for control of the land. Slaves were brought to South Africa from India and Malaysia. Apartheid began in the 1900's and endedin 1990. Today South Africa is the richest country in Africa with a developing economy.
