the thing that shocked me the most about the history of South Africa is the colonization of the British, women and children were deported to concentration camps. And also the fact that South Africa has 3 capitals CHAACHOUA Romaissa 1°7 Mme.RICKETTS
The things that shocked me the most are about the first Europeans settlers were Dutch traders on the Europe-Far East spice route who founded Cape Colony (now Cape Town) in 1652. The British seized Cape Colony in 1795 and a few years later the Dutch farmers (boers) fled north to claim lands and establish the Orange Free State and the Transvaal. At the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th, the British fought two wars with the Boers and one with the Zulus for control of the region. British victories resulted in the formation of the Union of South Africa in 1910. South Africa became a ‘sovereign independent state’ and part of the British Commonwealth in 1934. After it became a republic in 1961, South Africa’s official name became the Republic of South Africa and when the women and children faced a far worse punishment as many were placed into concentration camps, the conditions was so poor, were they died from disease and stravation.
The things that shocked me the most about South Africa are the gun violence in townships nowadays and the deportment of women and children to concentration camps during colonisation. And I was really shocked when I knew that South Africa has 3 capitals because I didn't know that one country can have several capitals. MELKUMOVA Kamilla, 104
The most shocking thing I have learned about South Africa is the number of difficulties it has faced. Oppression, diseases, liberations, colonization, wars.. but also more recently gun violence in townships and the lack of education of young people in some places. Education should be accessible equally to all and not only to the privileged. Nadtochey Karina
I recently learned that people of South Africa got their complete independence in 1994 which I find really shocking because it is very late comparing to the independence days of other countries. It is heart-wrenching to think about these people who got their identity and freedom only 27 years ago.

The things that shocked me the most were the violence of the government (banishments, police brutality) and the number of wars that have been fought.
