South Africa has the largest population of people of European descent in Africa, one of the largest Indian population outside of Asia , as well as the largest Coloured (of mixed European, Asian and African descent) community in Africa, making it one of the most ethnically diverse countries on the continent. Racial and ethnic strife between the black majority and the white minority have played a large part in the country's history and politics . The National Party began introducing the policy of apartheid after winning the general election of 1948 ; however, it was the same party under the leadership of F.W. de Klerk who started to dismantle it in 1990 after a long struggle by the black majority, as well as many white, coloured and Indian South Africans.
The country is one of the few in Africa never to have had a coup d'état , and regular free and fair elections have been held since 1994 , making it a regional power and among the most stable and liberal democracies in Africa.
South Africa is ranked as an upper-middle income economy by the World Bank . It has the second largest economy in Africa after Nigeria , and the 34th-largest in the world. By purchasing power parity , South Africa has the 7th highest per capita income in Africa. Although being the second largest economy, South Africa has the most sophisticated economy in the continent, with modern infrastructure common throughout the country. The country is considered to be a newly industrialized country according to the World Bank classifications.

Desmond Mpilo Tutu OMSG CH GCStJ (7 October 1931 – 26 December 2021) was a South African Anglican bishop and theologian , known for his work as an anti-apartheid and human rights activist . He was Bishop of Johannesburg from 1985 to 1986 and then Archbishop of Cape Town from 1986 to 1996, in both cases being the first black African to hold the position. Theologically, he sought to fuse ideas from black theology with African theology .
Tutu was born of mixed
Xhosa and
Motswana heritage to a poor family in
Klerksdorp ,
South Africa . Entering adulthood, he trained as a teacher and married
Nomalizo Leah Tutu , with whom he had several children. In 1960, he was ordained as an Anglican priest and in 1962 moved to the United Kingdom to study theology at
King's College London . In 1966 he returned to southern Africa, teaching at the
Federal Theological Seminary and then the
University of Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland . In 1972, he became the Theological Education Fund's director for Africa, a position based in London but necessitating regular tours of the African continent. Back in southern Africa in 1975, he served first as
dean of
St Mary's Cathedral in
Johannesburg and then as
Bishop of Lesotho ; from 1978 to 1985 he was general-secretary of the
South African Council of Churches . He emerged as one of the most prominent opponents of South Africa's
apartheid system of
racial segregation and
white minority rule . Although warning the
National Party government that anger at apartheid would lead to racial violence, as an activist he stressed
non-violent protest and foreign economic pressure to bring about
universal suffrage . (

Born into a White South African family of Scottish descent in Durban , Colony of Natal , Campbell was sent to England to attend Oxford University . Instead, Campbell drifted into London's literary bohemia . Following his marriage to bohemian Mary Garman , Campbell wrote the well-received poem The Flaming Terrapin which brought the Campbells into the highest circles of British literature .

No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
