This is a poem about South Africa which possesses three capitals: Pretoria (executive); cape Town (legislative) and Bloemfontein (Judicial)- line 3; The Rovos Rail is the most luxurious Train in the world- line 10 and Vilakazi street houses two Nobel Peace prize winners- Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela- line 11
Recently broke free from the chains of apartheid
the bottom region of the second largest island
possessing three power houses to the usual one
and one of the local champions spare heading its region.
It has its own share of true records
housing both the smallest and largest plants.
The only volunteer to abandon programs of nuclear developments
and boasts of a population worthy of a global market.
From the cheapest electricity to the largest wine route,
to the train which is most enjoyable and expensive
and a street shined on by two golden stars,
but now gradually becoming a chronic and xenophobic addict.
