South Africa Yearbook 2012/13
SOUTH AFRICA YEARBOOK 2012/13 Land and its p Land and its people Situated at the southern tip of Africa, South Africa boasts an amazing variety of natural beauty and an abundance of wildlife, birds, Land and its p plant species and mineral wealth. In addi- tion, its population comprises a unique diversity of people and cultures. The southern tip of Africa is also where archaeologists discovered 2,5-million-year- old fossils of man’s earliest ancestors, as well as 100 000-year-old remains of modern man. The land Stretching latitudinally from 22°S to 35°S and longitudinally from 17°E to 33°E, South Africa’s surface area covers 1 219 602 km2. According to Census 2011, the shift of the national boundary over the Indian Ocean in the north-east corner of KwaZulu-Natal to cater for the Isimangaliso Wetland Park led to the increase in South Africa’s land area. Physical features range from bushveld, grasslands, forests, deserts and majestic mountain peaks, to wide unspoilt beaches and coastal wetlands. The country shares common bound- aries with Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Swaziland, while the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho is landlocked by South African territory in the south-east. The 3 000-km shoreline stretching from the Mozambican border in the east to the Namibian border in the west is surrounded by the Atlantic and Indian oceans, which meet at Cape Point in the continent’s south- western corner. Prince Edward and Marion islands, annexed by South Africa in 1947, lie some 1 920 km south-east of Cape Town.

Exploring Health and Healthcare Systems in South Africa
IPE 3050: PUBLIC HEALTH AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS IN SOUTH AFRICA Professor Robert Bensley, PhD [email protected] 269-716-2301 Description: The proposed travel study course will focus on current health promotion and healthcare issues in South Africa, especially within the Nelson Mandela Metropol in the Eastern Cape. South Africa is currently under extreme healthcare duress, leading the world in HIV infection and experiencing a host of other public health related factors, including poverty, violence, alcoholism, and HIV-related infections. The country has experienced great strides following a long history of segregation associated with Apartheid. However, public health systems, including healthcare, continue to be a disparity for cultures within South Africa. Much of this is related practices that evolved due to Apartheid, however, rich cultural traditions also play key factors in how native populations approach preventative health and healthcare. One of the major goals of the US Healthy People 2020 objectives for the nation focuses on eliminating health disparities among US populations. The proposed program is designed to not only provide students with a global understanding of the complexities that exist within international health practices, but also serve as a platform for providing a deeper understanding of the consequences of health disparities as it relates to our own cultures. This course will include a series of formal and informal meetings with different public health and healthcare individuals and groups, visits to health and healthcare institutions, cultural activities and immersion, hands-on service learning involvement, and group discussions. In particular, students will be exposed to a number of healthcare practitioners, personnel from public health and non-profit centers and clinics, university-based wellness peer helpers, and traditional healers.
