      I don’t know a single black person who can speak 9 languages. I work in courts everyday and not even the interpreters who are authorised by judiciary to work in the court can speak 9 languages.
      You have the Whites who speak Afrikaans and English. A lot speak the ruling language from where they grew up (Jhb you have Zulu speaking/understanding whites, Pta you have sotho whites).
      Then the blacks speak their tribal language or a version thereof which mixes words from the dominant languages in the area, like “Pretorian” which includes Afrikaans (for the days for example saying Ke a boya Maandag) Sotho for the rest, and Zulu for words neither of the other language commonly use.
      Long story short, out of the 80 million people here, no more than 10000 probably speak more than 4 languages.

      Back in the 90s we drove through Lesotho to go see the building of Katse Dam.
      We got a little bit lost in the mountains and ran out of road then ran out of track. Put a plank over the edge of a ravine to cross over 😱 in the 4x4 bakkie we were in. We came upon a small village of about 30 people, some of whom had not seen white people before. They had prayed for someone to come take a sick gogo to Thaba Tetse clinic. So we were welcomed as from their God.

      The people are friendly, our climate is mild, the landscapes are varied and beautiful and our fresh produce is among the best in the world. Our entire coastline is a tourist attraction too. And we have a diversity of plants and animals. Most of South Africa’s developed areas look and feel like Australia. Same-sex marriage is legal, weed is legal, we don’t have a despot government. It is also a big country (there are many amazing small country towns in South Africa where property is still affordable for middle-class South Africans).

    Im South African and live in Gqeberha aka Port Elizabeth. Beautiful place. Right now it's 17h05 in the afternoon and around 31 degrees in temperature. It's Autumn but it's not unusual to have that kind of weather here. Differs not only from day to day but hour to hour sometimes. Could be hot now, windy later, then rain and thunder and 5 min later, something else. The biggest misconception I think people have of this country other than the level of crime, is the whole thing about wild animals roaming the streets. To a certain extent only (no more than in other countries), there is some truth in that. If you study at Nelson Mandela University and you leave your sorm open, there is a possibility of monkeys getting into your room. Reside tally speaking though, other than the occasional hyrax moving into your yard or cows eating grass in parks or on the side of the road, nothing too out of the ordinary. Beautiful country.

    One of my favourite parts of living in South Africa is the food. The Cape Town area is very similar to some parts of Italy, giving us world famous wine and olive oil, and within an hour of eating at an fancy Italian restaurant, you can find some Indian food, or Malaysian food, or native African food, or all three of those mixed together in one meal

    Lesotho is geographically distinct, a border drawn conveniently around a unique and strange geography. This border magically makes people ignore its strangeness. I’m glad you explained it though I don’t feel the explanation fits the strangeness when I look on Google earth.

    The partial map you have displayed is spanned over quite a large area. Table Mountain is the bit closer to the top. The southernmost point is Cape Point Mountain. The whole bit spans over 52 km (32 miles) as the crow flies. If you want to drive from the City (The top side of Table Mountain) to the southern point, it will be a 73 km trip that will take 1 and a half hours.
