No, It's considered an emerging market or developing country. The South African economy is however very unique to other countries in the world, having a tier two economy one showing clear traits of a developed nation with high human development and first-world infrastructure and other areas showing traits of a lower-middle class or low income area where unemployment along with a lack of high education remains high . Huge inequality is also a major concern dragging down South Africa's ranking on the world human development index.

South Africa is an independent country, represented in the United Nations and the African Union. It has a President, a Parliament and regular free and fair democratic elections. It has a very progressive constitution guaranteeing many basic human rights, and that constitution is strictly enforced by a constitutional court.

It is one of the richest countries in Africa, along with Egypt and Nigeria.

It was previously closely associated with Britain, having the British queen as its head of state, but that was dropped in 1961.
