Finally, after much delay, here is My Countries Part 2: Southern Africa. If you missed My Countries Part 1: Eastern Europe click here. I hope you enjoy the synopsis of my research. Keep praying and please consider donating to my support funds.  Also please enjoy my video at the end of this blog post!

 

South        

                       Africa

Capital: Pretoria, Bloemfontein, and Cape Town

Largest City: Johannesburg

Population: 52,981,991

Motto: “Unity in Diversity”

15% Atheism 

South Africa is the birthplace of my favorite author, J.R.R. Tolkien. While South Africa is one of the wealthiest countries on the African continent, however many people outside of cities are poor. South Africa is still healing from apartheid and has a high rate of AIDS/HIV.  Please pray for healing that can only come from God so that this country can step into it’s Godly inheritance. 


 

Swaziland

 

Capital: Lobamba and Mbabane

Population: 1,106,000

Motto:”We are a fortress “

Language: SiSwati and English

Religions: 60% Christianity

30% African Zionism

2% Islam

Let’s be honest most of you have no idea Swaziland was even a country before this post. Swaziland located to the North East of South Africa. It is one of the last monarchies in Africa. (How cool is that?!) Swaziland has the highest precentage of HIV/AIDS in the world. (How not cool is that?!) According to some researchers, Swaziland will cease to exist by the year 2050 because the population will have succumbed to HIV/AIDS.   Please pray for health and prosperity for the Kingdom of Swaziland as it steps forward to bring the Kingdom of God to earth.


 

 

Botswana 

Capital: Gaborone

Population: 2,155,784

Motto:”Rain”

Language: Setswana and English

Religions: 70% Christianity

20% Atheism

 

 

When I first started searching for pictures of Botswana, I could only find pictures of lions, elephants, and other wild animals. However, I was looking for their people. Botswana is one of the sparsest populated countries worldwide. This landlocked country struggles with HIV/AIDS and droughts.  Please pray for love of God to rain down on Botswana, and flood this country with life and light.
