Talk about Africa

Recently, our teacher told us to make a PowerPoint presentation about African countries. From North African countries and so on. I am going to talk about South Africa. It’s weird where it’s called South Africa where it’s located in Southern Africa. This country has 3 capital cities. Cape Town, Pretoria, and Bloemfontein.
This country has lakes, rivers, and mountains. I’m going to give one example for each. Table Mountain, Orange River, and Lake Chrissie. And there’s a lot of natural resources here. From what I’ve counted in our presentation. It has over 18 natural resources.
The population is over 50.5 million. Exact population is 56,974,739. The climate is Mediterranean to the southeast corner of the country, temperate to the interior plateau, and subtropical in the northeast. This country has some festivals related to music and arts.
And here are some interesting facts. The first human heart transplant was performed in Cape Town. A lot of animal habitats are destroyed because of deforestation and over population. This place is home to a wide variety of animals like hippopotamus, tigers, rhinos, and such. South Africa is member of United Nations.
