	Welcome to South Africa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		If the history of South Africa is in large part one of racial divisiveness, today it can also be seen as the story of a journey through massive obstacles towards the creation, from tremendous diversity, of a single nation whose long-time dream of unity and common purpose is today being realised.
		Other long-term inhabitants of the area that was to become South Africa were the Bantu-speaking people who had begun moving from more northern parts of Africa into the north-eastern and eastern regions many hundreds of years before the arrival of the Europeans.
