基本資料

終於來到非洲的最後一個區域,也是國家數量最少的:南部非洲(接下來簡稱南非,不是指「南非共和國」唷)。
這裡只有5個國家,其中兩個還是土地面積比台灣小的內陸國。但可別小看這個區域,南非共和國可是非洲經濟佼佼者,大量移工到該國尋求更高的收入,波札那則被評為非洲信用風險最低的國家。但同一時間,兩個內陸國史瓦帝尼和賴索托則受愛滋病和結核病所苦,賴索托人民的預期壽命更是全球第三低,只有55歲。南非沒有你想像中的貧困,但在公共衛生領域,南非還有很長的路要走。

Finally we come to the last region of Africa, also the one with the least number of countries. That is Southern Africa.

There are only five countries in this region. Furthermore, two of them are landlocked states smaller than Taiwan. However, one should not underestimate the importance of this region. The Republic of South Africa is a leading economic power in Africa with a large number of migrant workers coming to the country to seek a higher standard of living. Botswana is rated as the country with the lowest credit risk in Africa. But at the same time, the two landlocked countries, Swaziland and Lesotho, suffer from AIDS and tuberculosis, and the 55-year life expectancy of the people of Lesotho is the third lowest in the world. South Africa is not as poverty-stricken as you may assume. But in terms of public health, the country still has a long way to go.
