The South Africa Pavilion at World Expo Shanghai was opened yesterday by the nation's International Relations and Cooperation Minister, Maite Nkoana-Mashabane.

"We are very proud to be opening the pavilion because it truly showcases the vibrancy of South African cities, our diversified urban culture and how far we have progressed since the birth of the New Democratic South Africa," Nkoana-Mashabane added.

"Shanghai Expo's theme of ‘Better City, Better Life’ resonates deeply with our people, and the pavilion will showcase our stories and commitment to improving urban living through innovative solutions."

The pavilion, located in Zone C, has a simple design inspired by a traditional Southern African Rondavel round house, interpreted in a modern way that fuses tradition with modern materials.

Nkoana-Mashabane said at the opening the pavilion's designers also were involved in design and construction of the 2010 FIFA World Cup venue in South Africa. Games will be telecast in the pavilion.

He said trade was not the only aspect South Africa hoped to highlight during Shanghai Expo. Continuing to attract direct investment from China and other countries was also important.

During July and August, the South Africa Pavilion will focus on profiling its modern economy by introducing pillar industries, including agro-processing, metals and mining technology, bio-fuels and alternative energy.

The pavilion will also host themed exhibitions with traditional artifacts and wines.

5月6日上午，上海世博会南非国家馆正式对公众开放。南非国际关系与合作部部长迈特·恩科阿纳·马沙巴内、南非驻华大使倪清阁等出席开馆仪式。

马沙巴内在开馆仪式上表示，南非馆将真实展现南非各大城市的活力、都市文化以及南非新民主政府自成立以来所取得的成就。上海世博会以“城市，让生活更美好”为主题，这引起了南非人民的强烈共鸣。南非馆以“一个现代经济大国的崛起，时机到了”为主题，将展示南非通过创新方案改善城市生活的经验与承诺，让参观者了解现代南非作为中国战略合作伙伴的多样性。

倪清阁表示，自1998年南非与中国正式建交以来，中国已经成为南非最大的出口目的国，同时南非也是中国在非洲最大的贸易合作伙伴，双边贸易总额占中国与非洲贸易总额的20%。相信上海世博会将为加强中非双边贸易与投资关系提供一个强大的平台。

再过一个多月，2010年世界杯足球赛就将在南非开赛；而上海世博会南非馆则是由参与南非世界杯场馆建设的设计师设计而成，其设计灵感源自南非传统的“Rondavel”（圆棚屋），传统的外形设计结合现代化的材料与建造方式，向参观者诠释了一个传统与现代相融合的南非。

来到南非馆，就可以看到南非世界杯吉祥物“扎库米”在门口笑迎四方来宾。世博会期间，南非馆将向参观者演绎城市社区转型、旅游与遗产保护、环境与气候变化等不同展示主题。此外，南非馆还将邀请游客亲身体验真实的南非风情，从地道的当地手工艺品、藏于馆内精致酒吧中的顶级葡萄酒、现代化的城市生活方案，让参观者在了解原汁原味的南非的同时，感受富有现代与未来气息的新南非。

南非是中国在非洲最大的贸易合作伙伴，因此，吸引来自中国和其他国家的直接投资也是南非馆展示的另一项重点内容。7至8月期间，南非馆将通过介绍南非的一些支柱产业，展现其现代经济概况，以有助于中国企业在非洲大陆投资和经商。
