 It shares land borders with Zambia and Angola to the north, Botswana to the east and South Africa to the south and east.
 Although it does not border Zimbabwe, a part of less than 200 metres of the Zambezi River (essentially a small bulge in Botswana to achieve a Botswana/Zambia micro-border) separates the two countries.
 Namibia gained independence from South Africa on 21 March 1990, following the Namibian War of Independence.

 It also includes the Augrabies Falls and the diamond mining regions in Kimberley and Alexander Bay.
 The Namaqualand region in the west is famous for its Namaqualand daisies.
 The southern towns of De Aar and Colesberg, in the Great Karoo, are major transport nodes between Johannesburg, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth.
 In the northeast, Kuruman is known as a mission station and also for its artesian spring, the Eye of Kuruman.

 The two states established bilateral relations in April 1976, shortly after Cape Verde gained independence from the Portuguese Empire.

 China maintained relations with Cape Verde throughout from 1970s to mid-1990s mainly to prevent the Republic of China (Taiwan) from gaining Cape Verde's international recognition through checkbook diplomacy.
 However, in the mid-1990s, a number of Chinese capitalists began investing in the island nation and relations grew during the 2000s as a result. Sylvia Lucas

The concept of the Northern Cape as a distinct geo-political region of South Africa coalesced in the 1940s when a "Northern Cape and Adjoining Areas Regional Development Association" was formed and the first map featuring the name "Northern Cape" was published.
 The geographic spread to which the term applied was not fixed until 1994, however, when it attained precise definition as the Northern Cape Province, one of South Africa's nine post-apartheid provinces.
 Since then there have been boundary adjustments to include parts of the former Bophuthatswana (transferred from North West Province) adjacent to Kuruman and Hartswater.
 Vryburg and Mafikeng, in the north eastern extremity of the former Cape Province - and hence regarded as part of the pre-1994 "Northern Cape" - are excluded, being part, now, of the North West Province.
