Which country is known as the 'Rainbow nation'?
South Africa is called the Rainbow Nation. This is because of its multicultural diversity, after different groups came here in previous centuries. The country's more recent history of apartheid is better known. Now people can live anywhere if they have the right opportunities, such as a good education. Rainbow nation is a term coined by Archbishop Desmond Tutu to describe post-apartheid South Africa, after South Africa's first fully democratic election in 1994.
