Rainbow Nation
South Africa has affectionately received the name of the “Rainbow nation”. The name, coined by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, is a representation of the vast mix of people making up the massive ~55 million population.
Homicide Rate
While some countries boast being safe, South Africa has a somewhat harder time doing that. The crime rate is so high in South Africa that perhaps it’s no surprise that more than 50 people are killed every day on average.
