The Cape of Good Hope was originally a Dutch colony but was captured by Britain in 1795 due to its strategic location along the sea route to the East. Sheep farming was introduced, supplying wool to British mills. South Africa became fully sovereign in 1934 within the British Empire and became a republic in 1961 after a referendum. South Africa occupies the southern tip of Africa with over 3,000 km of coastline and contains many conservation parks and animal species, with its highest point being Mafadi Peak
