Overview
Spotlight on South Africa introduces readers to this vast country, from Table Mountain to the dry veldt, or grassland, where elephants, lions, and other wildlife live in protected parks. With the defeat of apartheid – the laws that limited the rights of black people – the future is much brighter for South Africans of all races. The daily lives and family traditions of the mix of people and cultures that make up South Africa today are highlighted. A special section features the joyful celebration of the World Cup of soccer held in South Africa in 2010.
