	Thought I was doing okay until I got to the official languages...I had no idea they had that many. Really interesting quiz!

	smacken:	Jun 11th, 2010 at 06:06 GMT	9 points
	Setswana should be an acceptable alternative for Tswana.

	Love these country quizzes!

	nice quiz - would have added in the big 5 animals as a set of categories.

	Since the "Swazi" in Swaziland gives you "Swati" the language, maybe the languages should be before the bordering countries?

	Good stuff, but one slight error - typing 'indian' also awards you the lowest point as 'atlantic'. Got 2 more by accident, swati and orange (guessed as a flag colour)

	tbh444:	Jun 11th, 2010 at 08:43 GMT	14 points
	Actually scrap that, I guess it's not an error since both oceans are lowest points, duh!

	Apparently 19% of people give up after trying drives on the....right? No? Oh well next question

	No, Americans are not the only people who call football soccer. Bsd was right.

	Even if the World Cup is about to begin, isn't rugby the national sport ?

	I've really enjoyed these country quizzes lately.

	whoops, not knowing exactly what freedom day was i thought 'independence from' required a date not a country...

	I thought their National Motto is: "Diversity tomorrow because today is almost over".......

	zertrudetrout:	Jun 11th, 2010 at 13:14 GMT	7 points
	@zezapatiste - No, football is the most popular sport overall, rugby and cricket are more popular with the white minority

	Nice quiz, can really pick up some interesting info on these country quizzes.

	Bretzky:	Jun 11th, 2010 at 14:43 GMT	16 points
	I agree with those who have said it should be "soccer" instead of "football". South Africans call it soccer, not football. Britain is the only majority English-speaking country in the world that calls it football. The US, Canada, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand all call it soccer.

	awesome quiz! great timing, go italy but let south africa be second...

	I found two bonus answers: zakumi - The mascot of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa table mountain - The mountain that looms above Cape Town

	Visited South Africa in 2001. Stayed in Port Elizabeth. Loved every minute of it. Thanks for this quiz, I really enjoyed it.

	What ever happened to the krugerrand as South Africa's official currency? Is "rand" just a shortened version of that? If so, krugerrand should be acceptable.

	Kwoj:	Jun 11th, 2010 at 16:49 GMT	-3 points
	@TheSnakes: Soccer is for pansies? Then how come the 'soccer' world cup is a bigger (in terms of worldwide audience) event than the Olympics? And it is a contact sport unlike baseball (a sport you have listed as not being for 'pansies.'

	BrightsideGirl:	Jun 11th, 2010 at 17:02 GMT	8 points
	The Rand is the official currency of SA - Krugerrands were specific coins made bearing Paul Kruger's face on one side, and were never the official/only currency in SA, although they were legal currency at one stage. Today, they are collectors' items. We've been using the Rand since 1961, replacing British currency following independence form the UK. On another note, yes, we call it soccer; but we never refer to our rugby as 'football', so calling the game soccer isn't because we don't want to confuse it with 'rugby football'. Great quiz, you really have a lot of good SA facts here!

	What!? I could swear Morgan Freeman was the first black president of South Africa! What the hell's going on here? Next you'll be telling me that Matt Damon didn't win the Rugby World Cup! ... "Matt - Damon"

	@zertrudetrout: Thank You. I am not really into international rugby and I thought it became something more universal there.

	Would be nice if the primary answers for the sport and river were soccer and Gariep river. Just saying. I'm only a South African so I know my opinion doesn't really count for much... (Oh and interestingly, I was taught that Mont-aux-Sources was the highest point in school. Bloody school...)
