Extractions: Issue No.530 Published in Cairo by AL-AHRAM established in 1875 Current issue Previous issue Site map In an exclusive interview with Al-Ahram Weekly, South African Foreign Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma spoke to Gamal Nkrumah Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, South Africa's dynamic but unassuming foreign minister, came to Egypt for four days last week at the invitation of Foreign Minister Amr Moussa. They held wide-ranging discussions on a number of bilateral issues and common continental concerns. This is not Dlamini-Zuma's first visit to Egypt. She first visited Egypt last April to attend the Africa-Europe summit. A jet-setting minister, as befitting the representative of a country of South Africa's international standing, Dlamini-Zuma nevertheless has her finger firmly on the pulse of her country's and the African continent's most pressing social challenges. Dlamini-Zuma is a paediatrician who terminated a flourishing medical career to devote her life entirely to the anti-apartheid struggle. She headed the African National Congress health department in Lusaka, Zambia in the late 1980s, after working at a number of hospitals in England, South Africa and Swaziland. A former South African minister of health, Dlamini-Zuma is no stranger to the world of international diplomacy, but at heart she is still active in the medical sphere. She is a member of the steering committee of the National AIDS Coordinating Committee of South Africa and has a special interest in children suffering from HIV/AIDS.

He prepared for his explorations through a series of shorter journeys in Natal and the Free State. He visited Bechuanaland, the Kalahari Desert, Namaqualand, Damaraland and Ovamboland, spending much time along the Orange River.

Extractions: General South Africa is a big country, occupying over a million square kilometres of the Southern continent, its 3 000 -km coastline lapped by the cold waters of the Atlantic in the West and, in the east, by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. More than that it is a country of remarkable diversity with its population - ' The Rainbow Nation '- embracing a bewildering mix of clours, creeds, customs and languages. Variety and contrast are visible in the nation and in the land itself, and in the character of the towns and cities and rural areas. Some of the still existing tribes would include the Zulu Nation, the Xhosa, the Swazi (all three are related, belonging to the Nguni group of people); the Northern Sotho, the Southern Sotho and the Tswana, the South Ndebele and the North Ndebele, the Venda and Lemba; and the Shangaan-Tsonga. No matter how many generations removed, members of a tribal clan are still "brothers and sisters" and share common roots. According to oral history, the name Zulu literally means "sky", and was the name given to the son of Malandela and Nozinja, who lived in what was later to become known as Zululand or, in the Zulu language, KwaZulu. An interesting situation developed when young Zulu, who was his mothers' "favourite", grew to be a man. His eldest brother, Qwaba, became jealous of him and planned his end. His mother however, came to the rescue and took Zulu away.Supported by an Induna ( headman ) named Mpungose he made his way in the world and - as it happened - establish the Zulu clan.
Extractions: The climate is generally sunny and temperate, with average number of sunshine hours each day among the highest in the world. Winters are mild and clear, although occasional snowfalls occur on the higher mountain ranges of the Eastern and Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, causing brief cold spells in the surrounding areas. More than 40% of South Africa lies nearly 4,000 feet above sea level, which exerts a significant influence on temperatures and rainfall in the interior of the country. The Western Cape Province enjoys a Mediterranean-type climate (dry summer and winter rainfall, mostly in the form of short afternoon thunderstorms). As the country lies in the southern hemisphere, seasons are the reverse of those in the northern hemisphere. The average maximum temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit of four of south Africa's major cities are:

Extractions: PEOPLE Mozambique's major ethnic groups encompass numerous sub-groups with diverse languages, dialects, cultures, and histories. Many are linked to similar ethnic groups living in inland countries. The north-central provinces of Zambezia and Nampula are the most populous, with about 45% of the population. The estimated 4 million Makua are the dominant group in the northern part of the countrythe Sena and Ndau are prominent in the Zambezi valley, and the Tsonga and Shangaan dominate in southern Mozambique. Despite the influence of Islamic coastal traders and European colonizers, the people of Mozambique have largely retained an indigenous culture based on smallscale agriculture. Mozambique's most highly developed art forms have been wood sculpture, for which the Makonde in northern Mozambique are particularly renowned, and dance. The middle and upper classes continue to be heavily influenced by the Portuguese colonial and linguistic heritage. During the colonial era, Christian missionaries were active in Mozambique, and many foreign clergy remain in the country. According to the national census, about 20%-30% of the population is Christian, 15%-20% is Muslim, and the remainder adheres to traditional beliefs.

Extractions: EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED South Africa is a magnificent country blessed with extraordinary natural beauty and a rich cultural heritage. Its climate runs from temperate to sub-tropical; its landscapes range from stark desert to spectacular mountain to lush grassland and forest; its peoples can be found in rural subsistence communities or in cities as sophisticated and cosmopolitan as anywhere in the world. Situated at the southern tip of the African continent, South Africa has a land area of 1,3 million square kms (500,000 square miles), five times the size of Great Britain, and greater than California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona combined. This impressive stretch of land runs from the great Limpopo River in the north, all the way down to the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Agulhas on the southernmost coast - a distance of nearly 2 000 kms (1 240 miles). Washed by the bracing Atlantic Ocean on the west and the balmy Indian Ocean on the east, South Africa has 3 600 kms of coastline (2 236 miles), so there is no shortage of stunning beaches for lovers of sunshine and water-sports. Many visitors come to South Africa in search of its abundant wildlife, vigilantly tended in the country's plenteous game reserves and conservation areas. Africa's big cats - lion, leopard and cheetah - still prowl the ranges of their ancestors, together with gigantic elephant, rhinoceros and hippopotamus. The country is also a magnet for bird-watchers, with close to 900 species.

Extractions: Mozambique Background: Almost five centuries as a Portuguese colony came to a close with independence in 1975. Large-scale emigration by whites, economic dependence on South Africa, a severe drought, and a prolonged civil war hindered the country's development. The ruling party formally abandoned Marxism in 1989, and a new constitution the following year provided for multiparty elections and a free market economy. A UN-negotiated peace agreement with rebel forces ended the fighting in 1992.
Mozambique Home The main tribes are the shangaan, Chokwe, Manyika, Sena and Makua. however outside of the cities the majority of people speak indigenous languages. http://www.questconnect.org/africa_Mozambique.htm
Extractions: Geography and Climate The country of Mozambique is on the eastern coast of southern Africa bordered on the east by the Indian Ocean (the Mozambique channel), on the north by Tanzania, Malawi and Zambia, on the west by Zimbabwe and on the south by South Africa. The total area the country covers is 801,590 sq. km. and the coastline is 2,470 km. long. In comparison, the country is slightly less than twice the size of the U.S. state of California. The country has a wide plain of coastal lowlands in the south and in the north the plain narrows and rises to mountains and the plateaus. Also in the south there are many lakes, and the center of the country is dominated by the Zambezi river valley and its deltas. Other major rivers include the Limpopo (along with the Zambezi, two of southern Africa's largest rivers), the Save and the Rovuma which forms the border with Tanzania. Natural resources include coal, titanium, natural gas and hydropower.
