A white minority has achieved great success in the literature, theater and cinema. Writers Nadin Gorder are known in the world (Nobel laureate of 1991), Alan Payton and John Kutsee (Nobel Prize 2003 and two more kenel), Dramaturgome Etol Fugard, filmmakers from Jami Uyus, Neil Blammamp and Gavin Hut, not to mention Kinodiv Charlize Theron.

Kitchen
Each local peoples took part in serving the national table. The aborigines offer exotic like fried grasshoppers or penguins ham, as well as nutritious dishes from corn and millet. The English cuisine is represented by steaks, which in South Africa are preparing not only from beef: icy and crocodile here is common meat. Running Huguenots still in the XVII century. They brought the traditions of French cuisine to South Africa, and the country's port cities smell asia asian spices. Once the Dutch was covered here from Indonesia, then Indian and Chinese kouli appeared on Cape. Asians could not live without rice, curry and solubular noodles - now all this can be found in Cape Town and Durban restaurants. Kitchen drills stores the memory of the great track. Permanent movements in a roast climate conditions required supplies that were not afraid of long storage. So was invented Biltong (BILTONG) - dried meat, arched by spices. Now it is considered the same symbol of South Africa as a dining area or the Kruger Park. Axis on the farm, the buck gave proper fresh food, but prepare preferred in the open air. That is why South Africa is so famous for the barbecue - on a local Braravelis (Braaivleis, or Braai). In addition to clipping, Burvars fry on coals (Boerwors), Something like our "hunting sausages".

Society
Since the time of falling apartheid passed 20 years, but the country is still divided by a racial basis, and many whites in general preferred to move abroad. Although N. Maddela - Icon of resistance and ZEK with 25 years of experience - was a supporter of reconciliation of the nation, his presidency was in South Africa an analogue of our "Dichy 90s". The degree of social tensions increases the presence of poor migrants in the country from neighboring states, which took advantage of the weakening of the border regime with the same Mandel. "Natural apartheid" is most noticeable in cities. Moreover, if Cape Town, like the city of the port, the time of the century of cosmopolitan, then Johannesburg is clearly divided into the "white" north and "black" south. Danger of acquaintance with crime in South Africa is very exaggerated, but, alas, there is. Do not pause alone in the evening. If you are modestly dressed, they are not faded with gold and do not swing the ipad, then the chances of the survive rises sharply.

Along the sea stretch the highway to which civilization centers are attached - Durban, East London and Port Elizabeth (This is not counting small settlements).

Just remember what you want to relax on the coast a lot, and the peak of the season falls on the second half of December and the first half of January. The warmth of everything from October to April, whereas South Winter on the coast of South Africa reigns: the temperature of the water in the southern shore is lowered below + 19 ° C, south of East London is still colder. Rain, alas, possible at any time of the year.
Cape Town and surroundings
Here ends the inhabited land, but such a "end of the world" is sad, you will not call: the blue sea, the bright sun, and under it a beautiful city in the ring of severe, but not less beautiful mountains.
In South Africa, Cape Town is respectful to "Mother" (Mother City). The oldest city of the country was founded in 1652 by Jan Riback, the first governor of the Dutch colony at Cape of Good Hope. At first, the town was called Copstadt and turned little in the face. Each Kopsky Dutchman wanted to have land, but it was hard to work on it. Therefore, the first 150 years of its history Kopstadt grew at the expense of Asian and African slaves, whose blood was mixed with the blood of the hosts and European sailors who had anchors at the table bay. When Copstadt became Cape Town (It happened in 1806)The British abolished slavery, after which the merger of races went even faster. By the end of the XIX century. A special type of a resident of the Kapskaya Colony - a man of southern, hot and darkness was formed. The spoiled British began to settle citizens on the color of the skin, justifying these measures by sanitary need - in fact, this was what apartheid was invented. Even now, the city is considered the capital of the white minority of the country, but the Cape Towns seems to be unchepsed. In Cape Town, the South African Parliament is promoting culture, and the main event of the last years of the World Cup in 2010 was the main event.
The time of the year's change in Cape occurs just as well as everywhere in South Africa - from May to August is cool, from September to April, and in our winter months it is just hot. The difference between the coast is that the ocean does not give air to cool and warm too much. Very pleasant spring - the opposite of the local winter (no more +23 ° C and no lower-15 ° C).
Cape Town is considered more prosperous and safe than all other cities of South Africa, however, to open his mouth on the streets and is not recommended here - especially in the evenings.
The center of information for tourists works in a pair of quarters from the railway station (Cape Town Tourist Information Center, Pinnacle Building, Burg Corner St. and Castle St., 0 + 27-021-4876800; 8.00-18.00, Sat until 14.00, in Apr.-Saint. Closes for 1 hour..
