Abstract

South Africa forms the southern basin of Africa, with a roughly V-shaped coastline which stretches for about 2,798 kilometres. The east coast of the country fronts onto the warm Indian Ocean, while the west coast fronts onto the colder South Atlantic Ocean, with the two oceans meeting at the southernmost tip of Africa known as Cape Agulhas. In addition, just outside the boundaries of the country are eSwatini (Swaziland) and Lesotho, two landlocked independent states (Republic of South Africa, 2022).
