SOUTH AFRICA

Jan van Riebeeck

(1619-1667) - OK, so this guy is Dutch, not South African, but he
makes the list as he was the founder of Cape Town, which makes
him pretty famous. Van Riebeeck was an explorer and originally
'discovered' South Africa in 1652. It was the foundation of Cape
Town that started an influx of Dutch settlers to South Africa. I
guess you could say he founded the Dutch South Africa.
2. Sid James
(1913-1976) - Sid James was one of those old school
comedians/actors/jack of all trades. He made his name as Tony
Hancock's co-star in'Hancocks Half Hour' but will always be
remembered for his work on Carry On films. He was known for his
'dirty laugh'. He was also known for being a dirty man too.
3. Nelson Mandela

(1918-2013) - You don't get more famous than Mandiba (that's

what they called him in South Africa). Nelson Mandela was the
Father of the Nation, revered as a God. Mandela was the first
black president and the first democratically elected president of
South Africa in 1994. Words can't praise him enough. Absolute
hero.

4. Desmond Tutu
 (1931-) - Desmond Tutu rose to fame
during the 1980s as an opponent of apartheid. He became the
first black South African Archbishop of Cape Town and is one of
the most recognised figures in religion worldwide. Tutu received
the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 and the Gandhi Peace Prize in
2005. He has done loads to promote world peace, hence the
mention.

5. (1967-) - Pienaar was a

distinctly average rugby player who did amazing things for his
country. He became the first South African captain to lift the
Rugby World Cup in 1995. It was hosted in South Africa, so
people were pretty pleased that they won.
