No, its not only black people who live in South Africa. I'm white and live in South Africa. There are plenty of different races that live in South Africa. Lions do walk free but not in the basic city life. There are many tourist attractions where you can go and see lions that walk around freely but are separated from us humans so that they cant attack us. There are parts in the bush where lions walk around freely but that is in the wild and you wont have to worry about lions.

No - we're not called the rainbow nation for nothing.
Yes the lions walk free in game parks and reserves. The last lion I saw in the center of town was on a leash.

I am Canadian, I just parked my dogsled and saw this question on answers.
Yes south Africa is populated entirely with black people. I hear that south Africa was founded by the Boers. Which I find fascinating, can you imagine living in a land founded by pigs. Extraordinary if you ask me.

No there is not only blacks, and no Lions don't walk free- only in the game reserves and in the coutry side...it is true! Last weekend I was at my parents and they live somewhere in North-West province and told about a leopord that was seen near the local dam where they supposed it was living and eating the baboons, but lucky no people:)

I believe that South Africa is a country still in termoil over its black heritage and white settlers. And in parks lions roam free, but only in parks and true wilderness which is vanishing in africa as it is elsewhere.

Oh my goodness. You must have heard that nonsense in a foreign country. Me too. I'm from SA and people ask me time and again why I'm not black. Then I just tell them I was raised by wolves who were so jealous of me that they kept me out of the sun.
Why are some foreigners so ignorant? I've even met some German dude in SA and he said that he thought he would be driving dirt roads here. Huh?
Crazy world we live in. But I blame it on television. Here in Korea they have many programs about South Africa and all of them are about wild animals and poverty and our personal favorite...AIDS. Never any programs about anything good in SA. They even showed a program about cops in SA and believe you me...all situations were about cops who couldn't help victims because they were afraid of catching AIDS.
So there you have it. What are we gonna do now? I educate my students daily on SA and it's wonderful culture and heritage.
What are you doing?
Proudly South African

If I understand correctly, the nation of South Africa has 4 principal people groups, the blacks, (many of which are zulu I believe), the whites, of dutch, german and british decent, the colored, who are of mixed race (this is a large group in itself) and the indians. The city of Durban has a large indian population, and there are many in other parts of SA as well.
