The Capital Pretoria found in the Gauteng Province,
holds the Voortrekker Monument located on a hilltop-
Made of pure granite it was built in nineteen forty-nine,
all the tourists are intrigued to take a look and stop.
The most common language in South Africa is isiZulu,
it is spoken by most of the country’s population-
The warmth of the country can be overbearing,
bordered by the Atlantic, it’s a subtropical location.
Stellenbosch is a university town in Western Cape province,
surrounded by vineyards and a mountainous steeple-
Oak-shaded streets lined with café’s and boutiques,
there are art galleries and little shops for the town’s people.
The Western Cape is also the home of The Garden Route,
Paarl is the largest town in the Cape Winelands destination-
The Cape of Good Hope overlooks the majestic Dias Beach,
the chameleon waters flow from God’s wonderful creation.
South Africa’s beauty shines throughout the Earth,
making it a home to many, giving the world much worth.
