Economy section

"South Africa is the economic nucleus of Africa the country's economy is the most industrialized and technologically advanced in Africa respectively, and has the largest economy in Africa."

Firstly, there should be a semicolon or maybe a period here to separate the clauses:

"the economic nucleus of Africa the country's economy..."

Secondly, this might me being dumb but I think the word "respectively" should be removed, I can't tell what it means or refers to here.

Finally, "and has the largest economy in Africa" doesn't seem grammatically correct in how it's added on at the end of the sentence, but I'm not smart enough to know how to remedy it. So I'll mention that in case anyone wants to fix it but otherwise go ahead and mark this as done if you just do any of the other edits I suggested.

pre-94 South Africa
