South Africa is a republic at the southern tip of Africa. It is bordered to the north by Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, to the north- east by Mozambique and Swaziland. Lesotho is contained entirely inside the borders of South Africa. Until 1991, South African law divided the population into four major racial categories: blacks (African), whites, coloreds, and Asians. Although this law has been abolished, many South Africans still view themselves and each other according to these categories. These categories are also retained for the purposes of Employment Equity (affirmative action). Black Africans comprise about 78% of the population and are divided into a number of different ethnic groups. Whites comprise about 10% of the population. They are primarily descendants of Dutch, French, English, and German settlers who began arriving at the Cape in the late 17th century. Coloureds are mixed- race people primarily descended from the earliest settlers, their slaves, and the indigenous peoples. They comprise about 9% of the total population. Most Asians descend from Indian workers brought to South Africa in the mid-19th century to work on the sugar estates in Natal. The rest are descendents of Indian traders who migrated to South Africa at around the same time. They constitute about 3% of the population and are concentrated in the KwaZulu-Natal Province. Oddly, parts of the tiny Chinese minority in South Africa were classified as white, rather than as Asian, under Apartheid. Education is in a state of flux. Under the apartheid system schools were segregated, and the quantity and quality of education varied significantly across racial groups. Although the laws governing this segregation have been abolished, the long and arduous process of restructuring the country's educational system is just beginning. The challenge is to create a single nondiscriminatory, nonracial system that offers the same standards of education to all people.
