Cape Town is one of the world's most beautiful cities with mountains, valleys and sandy beaches. A variety of environments can be found there, where the beauty of its costal landscape meets a bustling city with a lively cultural scene.
From 1948 to 1991 South Africa's political system was dominated by apartheid, a policy of segregation that isolated blacks in so-called homelands and overcrowded townships. Apartheid was a discriminatory policy that maintained white political and economic privilege in South Africa.
Today, the legacy of apartheid is seen in the wide economic divide amongst it's residents - their homes ranging from mansions to townships(shantytowns). South Africa is making up for decades of social disruption and lost education, but high unemployment and the AIDS epidemic threaten economic progress.
