GeographyRegions & CountriesAges 16–17

An interactive map of South Africa built from latitude/longitude coordinates, showing its nine provinces. Click a province to see its area, average annual rainfall, population from the 2022 census and share of GDP; turn on the minerals layer to see the world-famous gold, platinum, diamond and coal regions. Drag the year slider from 1996 to 2022 to track national population growth; the text notes that Gauteng covers only 1.5% of the area yet generates a third of GDP, illustrating the widest wealth gap in the world.
