Not to be confused with South Africa, the country, Southern Africa
is a subtropical and temperate region comprising many culturally,
ethnically and religiously diverse nations, including Angola,
Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Zimbabwe and the vast desert in the
middle formed into the shape of Namibia. Southern Africa's varying
success is connected to its rich natural resources: Zambia is laden
with copper mines, while neighbouring countries hold the world's
largest deposits of platinum, uranium and gold; South Africa is
well- known for its diamonds, which only partly explain its status
as Africa's richest country. Yet the region's potential for
prosperity remains blocked by legacies of the colonial scramble for
Africa. South Africa still struggles with the trauma of apartheid,
while World Bank debts have hollowed out the financial capacity of
countries like Zambia and Mozambique. Meanwhile, China is expanding
its influence through trade and cultural cooperation. This issue
lifts the lid on an oft-neglected region and asks what we can know
about Southern Africa--past, present and future.
