Question

Is South Africa a developed or developing country?

Answer 1

I didn't even know there was a country called South Africa.

Answer 2

I think it's a developed country because it was a member of The Commonwealth of Great Britain and it's housing the FIFA World Cup in 2010.

Answer 3

FOR THOSE WHO DONT' KNOW OUT THERE & THINKS THAT THIS IS A DUMD QUESTION, LISTEN CAREFULLY!!

South Africa is a country occupying the southern tip of the african continent. parliment sits in cape town between January & July , bu the administration is based in PRETORIA & the highest court in in Bloemfontein. the larges city is Johannesburg. South Africa is the continent;s most developing country and much of its wealth comes from Diamonds, Gold & other mineral. nearly three quarters of South Africans are Black.. :O

p/s : Whites make up 16% of the population.DUH!

Answer 4

It's really borderline.  The big cities are no doubt mostly developed.  But the outer townships are certainly in a poorer, developing condition.  I would say that compared to the vast majority of African nations, South Africa is certainly a step above both economically and politically.  However compared to the US, Europe and other industrialized nations, they have a ways to go.

Answer 5

developing, its not fully populated, and is basically like the U. S. was before the set in of manifest destiny.
