Central and Southern Africa is a huge region made up of nearly all of the southern “half” of Africa. The region includes countries bordering the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and those in between. Like other regions on the continent, Central and Southern Africa is a land of great diversity.

Central and Southern Africa

Southern Africa’s cultural diversity is reflected in its people Southern Africa’s cultural diversity is reflected in its people. Most are black Africans who: belong to many different ethnic groups speak many different languages Southern Africa also has large numbers of people of European descent—more than in other regions of Africa.

Europeans have a long history in Southern Africa. Portuguese explored the coastline, arriving in Mozambique in 1500s. Dutch and British arrived in Cape of Good Hope in 1600s. Dutch settlers moved north to Malawi and other lands. British settlers moved north to Zimbabwe and Zambia. 6

European Ethnic Groups in Southern Africa Portuguese descended from Portuguese settlers speak Portuguese Afrikaners descended from Dutch settlers speak Afrikaans British descended from British settlers speak English

Southern and Central Africa: Languages Each major language group, shown here, includes many different languages.

Southern Africa’s cultural diversity is also evident in its mixture of rural and urban areas. For many years, most people lived in villages and small cities. Today, several cities have more than 1 million people: Cape Town, South Africa Johannesburg, South Africa Maputo, Mozambique

Of all the countries in Africa, South Africa is the: The country of South Africa is a leader in the region and on the continent. Of all the countries in Africa, South Africa is the: wealthiest most urban most industrialized 10

During the 1900s, South Africa’s booming industries created a huge demand for labor. This demand was met by migrant workers who left their homes in other countries to work in South Africa’s mines. Most migrant workers were men. Their absence from home led to new roles for African women, many of whom took on new responsibilities and gained new rights.

Central Africa also is an area of great cultural diversity. The people of Central Africa belong to hundreds of different ethnic groups and speak many different languages. Democratic Republic of the Congo alone has 200 ethnic groups. 12

Central Africans are members of many different religions: Roman Catholics Protestants Muslims people who practice a blend of Christianity and traditional African beliefs 13

Diversity also is reflected in different lifestyles—traditional, modern, and a mixture of both. Many people in Central Africa live in rural areas or small villages. They make a living by farming or herding. Millions of others have an urban lifestyle in busy and crowded cities. They live in houses and apartments and work in factories, offices, and hotels. 14

On the Atlantic coast, several countries have large oil reserves. Much of Central Africa’s diversity is tied to economic differences among its people. On the Atlantic coast, several countries have large oil reserves. Angola Congo Gabon Cameroon Equatorial Guinea 15

Southern and Central Africa: Mineral and Energy Resources 16

Oil has brought wealth to many of those living in cities along the coast. City dwellers also benefit from more frequent contact with people outside Africa, leading to the exchange of new ideas. In the region’s interior, however, people often face economic hardship. Living conditions are poor, and people follow more traditional ways of life organized around kinship groups. 17
