From the rugby fields of Ellis Park to the cricket grounds of Newlands, South African athletes have showcased their talent and determination on the global stage. In this article, we celebrate some of the finest athletes to emerge from the Rainbow Nation.

At the forefront of South Africa's sporting pantheon stands Nelson Mandela Bay's very own Nelson Mandela. His remarkable journey from a township in Eastern Cape to the pinnacle of global rugby exemplifies the power of sport to unite and inspire. As the first black captain of the South African national rugby team, Mandela's leadership during the historic 1995 Rugby World Cup victory transcended the boundaries of sport, symbolizing hope and reconciliation in a nation emerging from apartheid.

In the world of cricket, the name of Jacques Kallis reigns supreme. Widely regarded as one of the greatest all-rounders in the history of the game, Kallis' batting prowess, coupled with his ability to take crucial wickets, made him a formidable force on the cricket field. His numerous records and accolades, including being named one of Wisden's Cricketers of the Year, attest to his enduring legacy in South African cricket.

On the track, the incomparable Caster Semenya has captivated audiences with her exceptional talent and unwavering determination. Despite facing numerous challenges and controversies throughout her career, Semenya has remained resolute in her pursuit of excellence, winning multiple Olympic and World Championship titles in the women's 800 meters. Her resilience in the face of adversity has made her a role model for aspiring athletes across South Africa and beyond.

In the world of golf, the name of Gary Player stands as a beacon of excellence. With nine major championships to his name, including three Masters titles, Player's skill and tenacity on the golf course have earned him legendary status in the annals of the sport. His global impact, both as a player and as a philanthropist, has helped popularize golf in South Africa and elevate the country's sporting reputation on the world stage.

In the realm of swimming, the indomitable Natalie du Toit has made waves with her remarkable achievements in the pool. Despite facing adversity following a life-altering accident, du Toit defied the odds to become one of the most decorated Paralympic athletes in history, winning multiple gold medals and setting numerous world records. Her inspirational journey serves as a testament to the power of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.

In conclusion, South Africa boasts a rich tapestry of sporting talent, with athletes across various disciplines making their mark on the global stage. From the rugby fields to the cricket grounds, from the athletics track to the golf course, South African athletes continue to inspire and captivate audiences with their extraordinary feats of athleticism and sportsmanship.

The greatest hero

Every country has its heroes. Hero or heroine comes from the Greek ἣρως. A hero, according to Wikipedia, usually has superhuman abilities or idealized character traits that allow him to behave in an unusual way and perform significant deeds ("heroic deeds") that make him famous and famous. But as we know, heroes are viewed differently in some countries. According to the sociological encyclopedia, a hero is an individual who has performed significant and courageous actions, usually at the risk of his own life, therefore he is presented as a model of behavior. According to another opinion, a hero must be brave, courageous or valiant. In short and simply, the term fear is definitely not in his vocabulary. A simple hero is a person who behaved heroically. Heroism can be viewed as exceptional behavior that occurs voluntarily and for the benefit of other people, carries significant risk, involves sacrifice, and is performed without expectation of personal gain. Or another point of view, the classic hero is an everyday person with an extraordinary quality or ability that they may not be aware of. So perhaps you already have a deeper idea of who is a hero, or even a superhero, and maybe you are one too? A hero doesn't have to, he could fly, have red rubber boots and shoot lightning from his eyes.

The greatest heroes

So every country has its heroes, classic sociological, animated, film and other heroes. Small and large, modest, known or unknown, etc. We think that every country should know its heroes and that's why we created taro sections on our portal, categories where you can vote for your heroes, add them, or comment. He will not interfere here, but we believe that there will be real heroes and that the most people will vote for them as well. Regardless of whether they are alive or dead. A dead hero, as it was said in one movie (Robocop), is more than a living hero.

Heroes

As it was already said, written above, one of the qualities of a hero is modesty, that is, he does not present his heroic act or actions anywhere, he did not do them in order to be presented, on the contrary, he modestly says that everyone would grant it, so we on the contrary, we will present and the whole human society should join, because the "hero" is also a wonderful role model. And those positive role models are decreasing more and more. So share, let others know, let there be real heroes, role models of your country.

The worst people in the country

Our portal is about who is the best in this or that country, depending on which page, in which country you are currently browsing. And logically, when you can vote here for who is the best actor, the most beautiful girl, or the best city, we also offer the opposite of "best" and "worst." The worst people in the country, such as mass or serial killers, dictators, cowards, traitors, but also current politicians or from past governments. We leave it up to the contestants to add.

The worst people in history

Usually the "worst people" will be revealed by history when their actions are thoroughly documented and proven in court. Such as Adolf Hitler or Jack the Ripper. Surprisingly, there are also people still alive who are not punished or convicted, such as Prince Harry's wife, Meghan, whom many people don't seem to need very much. So the worst people in the given country can still be interesting and it depends on the voters and the mood in the society.

The worst people

The best - the opposite, the worst. Many people think that this is a negative and negative survey, which perhaps should not be in an otherwise positive competition. But we think the opposite. Even evil must be shown and given a name and not pretend that it is not here. He's here, so let everyone know who he is, or at least who more people think he is.

The most beautiful child? Of course, for every mother, the most beautiful child is hers. But if she had to evaluate the most beautiful child, and it wasn't competing with her, then maybe it would work. Children are beautiful, innocent, there are many competitions on the topic of "the most beautiful child." How to evaluate?

The most beautiful child according to geometry

Perhaps you have already heard the term golden ratio (golden ratio) or in English golden ratio. It is a mathematical formula, the result of which is Phi - the most amazing number in the world, which signifies perfection. Geometric shapes derived from this item are considered aesthetically appealing in our culture.

The most beautiful child - golden cut

The Mona Lisa was painted, the pyramids in Giza were built, the statue of David was modeled, or logos for the Pepsi brand or the Twitter social network were created according to the golden ratio. Of the famous women, model Bella Hadid comes closest to the "divine proportion", whose face matches the golden ratio by 94.35 percent.

The most beautiful children, men, women

People who are generally considered beautiful have one thing in common: symmetry. A symmetrical face and figure means having everything in harmony both in shape and size - nothing too small or big or too round, flat or pointed.

The ideal of not only male beauty changes from time to time. What was admired not so long ago by the predecessors, today is sometimes the opposite. For example, before In was muscular, active men, today preference is given to rather slim and intelligent ones. The criteria of male beauty are determined by women. In the same way, women determine the criteria of female beauty. It's just their territory, so we men won't talk to them about it. Below we will present objectively used criteria in the assessment of beauty.

The most beautiful man

A man's beauty cannot be compared to a woman's. While a woman's beauty is 80% about appearance, for a man it is 70% more about personality, which includes a sense of humor, a smile, a look, bravery, but also fame, power, position, abilities or property, and let's not forget I can control speech and language. There are simply men who can "smack" a woman! Women choose men based on how interesting they are, while men focus on looks. They simply want to have a woman as an ornament, like nice cars or a motorcycle, so they can brag about her. With age, he will understand that women also have inner beauty. But let's imagine at least the basic parameters that a handsome man should have.

The most beautiful men in the world

• Height. In the assessment of male beauty, height is of great importance. Men of smaller stature often suffer from complexes

• Sporty type. Today's ideal is a man who plays sports and is slim rather than strong.

• Dark haired. For men, dark hair color and longer and long hair are preferred because girls usually prefer men with hair.

• Charming. Physical beauty in both men and women is closely related to grace. Charm includes many things: chemistry, posture, gracefulness of movements, expression and its manner, positive thinking and tuning, self-confidence, mental maturity, education and also the way of non-verbal communication - eye language, voice color and tone of speech, facial expressions, gestures, attitudes and more... And charm lasts considerably longer than mere physical beauty, and at the same time it can be demonstrably increased or even acquired.

• Intelligence. Of course, a higher IQ to the beauty of a man.

• Debauchery. Unfortunately, women have always liked gangsters, rebels, negative guys. Positive heroes are just awkward and boring.

• Trends. Beards are flying at the moment.

Top most beautiful girls

We have a most beautiful woman category here on the website, but since we sometimes had "grandmothers" added there, because the woman is beautiful and older, I decided to make the category you are currently in, the category "the most beautiful girl." Yes, of course we mean the most beautiful in the country, not the world. You can then look at the most beautiful women in the world according to statistics on the website www.votesforyou.eu. We didn't give any rules to the categories, we leave it up to everyone who adds a woman or girl, but we assume that "the most beautiful girl is a woman under 30, and the most beautiful woman from 30... It's open there. So on our website there are 2 categories in terms of beautiful women, namely the most beautiful woman and the most beautiful girl. So when you add, please don't mix it up. I understand that a woman around 30 probably won't know where to rank, we leave it entirely up to her and her judgment.

The most beautiful girls, women

The real difference between a woman and a girl is not so much age, as everyone thinks, or the onset of menstruation, but rather the girl's realization that she is a woman. Some will never understand, others soon. See what are the main differences between a woman and a girl.

The most beautiful Girl or Woman?

Girls tend to expose themselves and think how sexy it is. A woman has already understood and can be sexy without revealing herself. A smart woman understood that imagination is sexier than plain nudity or cheap exposure.

1. Women know that they don't have to bare everything to be sexy and attractive. They feel so comfortable in their own skin that they don't even have to worry about what they're wearing. They just know they're hot because they feel that way.
2. While girls think and hope that a man simply knows how he feels, women already know that a man does not know anything and simply expresses everything necessary in words.
3. Girls expect the man to pay for everything, the restaurant bill, transportation, etc. The woman is financially independent and can sometimes even pay for the man.
4. Girls want to be pampered like daddy's little girls. A woman is happy when a man treats her with respect and kindness.
5. Girls can get drunk at the bar. Women know their limits and know when to slow down.
6. Women are so busy with real life that the last thing is bothering them
7. Girls use social networks, commercial TV, etc., women read books.
8. Girls are boring and can't hold a conversation. That's why they grind nonsense. Women know how to keep a conversation interesting and fun.
9. Girls are boring and naive. Women are fascinating and magical.

These are the main differences, Now woman, girl, do you know where you belong?

The most important personalities

Every country has prominent personalities among them who have contributed to many beneficial, important, big steps forward, or something else. Prominent personalities are usually characterized by the fact that people know them, talk about them, or, on the contrary, do not know about them, but know their work. In any case, these people do their best to make them known, to spread and to spread their reputation, which is why we have the category: Prominent personalities of the given country.

Notable personalities - Characteristics

As psychological characteristics of the personality, we refer to those psychological phenomena that are permanently present, permanent features of the psyche. Psychological characteristics largely influence the frequency and form of experienced psychological states (e.g. anxiety as a psychological characteristic can predict more frequent occurrence of anxiety states).  We can detect the property only by external behavior (a more or less justified generalization of the observed manifestations of personality).

Top notable personalityi

A significant person is a person who has done something significant. But what significant thing must a person do to become a significant personality? Is there a scale or yardstick by which we know what is not yet and what is already significant? And what is the difference between a famous person and a famous person? A well-known person is "just" known, a significant person is significant. From this it can be concluded that a well-known personality is a personality that many people know. A notable person is a well-known person who has done something significant. Thus, a significant act is understood as an act of a famous personality, while a famous act is understood as an act of a significant personality. On the other hand, an important personality can also perform unknown actions, or even completely insignificant actions. It follows that even an insignificant personality can perform significant actions.

The best actresses

How do you know that a person has acting in their blood?  It's not enough just to have acting in your blood, the most important thing is to have stamina. Everyone can play, show off - after all, any direct personal communication is actually, in addition to speech itself, also mime (facial movement), musical (changing the pitch of the voice), dancing (gesturing with hands, moving the head, body, legs). It's a certain effort to make yourself visible, to stand out - exhibitionism, plus the ability to improvise, memory, correct articulation can be trained, and most importantly, such a person needs viewers, listeners.

The best actresses in the world

Most successful actress

I will be an actress! Many parents probably don't like to hear this sentence from their children. In the minds of many people, artistic professions are still perceived as those that do not support a person and should therefore remain in the field of entertainment. It is true, however, that in art more than anywhere else the winged saying applies: Many are called, few are chosen.  Very important, in addition to assessing the talent of the child, is also his mental maturity. If we talk about secondary art schools in the sense of conservatories, it should be remembered that such schools make literally extreme demands on their students. In the matriculation studies, they must master not only compulsory general subjects (Czech language, foreign language...) but also theoretical subjects (e.g. theater history, or in the case of instrumental fields, the science of instruments or auditory analysis) and above all artistic subjects (acting education, playing an instrument) , ballet...). And hand on heart, few applicants can imagine this in their dream of a career as an actress. When you start the conservatory, hanging out with your friends ends and so does your childhood. Studying art is hard work. Is your child ready for this?

Vote for the best actresses too, see the list above. They will certainly be pleased with every vote.

Best Actors

How do you know that a person has acting in their blood?  One actor  he replied that when he had to decide on a profession, he was not really interested in anything, but he liked to recite and was not shy in front of the public. That's probably the basis - a good memory, a bit of exhibitionism and, of course, talent, one can feel it in oneself. But there are many called and only a few chosen.

Most successful  actors

Acting is of course primarily a matter of talent and charisma, but unquestionable roles are also played by the screenwriter, who must create a sufficiently strong and expressive character already 'on paper', and the director, who helps conduct the actors and actresses and direct their performances within the framework of appropriate emotional or thought needs of a specific scene. And sometimes all these factors come together so well that it only takes a few minutes for the incriminated character to be etched in the audience's memory and his representative to impress the Academy itself, which hands out the most valuable film awards.

The whole world can vote for songs, only local songs can be added, depending on which country you are in.

The best song in the world?

Rolling Stone magazine polled 172 musicians, critics and industry insiders to compile their '500 Greatest Songs of All Time' poll, based on the success and 'influence' of individual songs rather than the quality of the music and lyrics, but is that fair?

The best songs

The problem with voting was that, of course, the first criticism of the chart was immediately directed to the fact that it was created primarily with regard to writers and performers and not to the songs themselves. What the album survey was most criticized for is even more evident in its sequel. Of the total number of songs, 357 are from America and 117 from Britain, only ten bars were occupied by Canada and eight by Ireland, while only one song from another country (La Bamba by Ritchie Valens. The Beatles received the most entries in the entire list, placing a total of twenty-three songs , but none of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon was released, Pearl Jam, Green Day or Soundgarden are nowhere to be seen, and not even Michael Jackson's song Thriller, which at one time dictated a new direction in popular music and, with its revolutionary visual processing, also a new era of video clips , did not make it into the top 50. The benefit and meaning of similar (musical) polls, whether they are compiled by a prestigious magazine or the participants of a discussion forum, can be summed up with a slight exaggeration under the saying, how many cherries are so many cherries. At least on one thing, everyone undoubtedly agrees: it is it's fun.

The best songs in the country

Shouldn't all the people in the world vote for the best seeds in the world? It works for us now. No critics, musicians or music experts. Everyone can vote here. The condition is that in Russia, people can vote only for Russian compositions, in Ireland, for Irish compositions, etc. To search for the best compositions in the world, when each country has its hits and let that country vote them out. All people in the world can vote for the country's hits. Songwriters and performers will surely be happy if their songs win.

The best music group in the world

For orientation, you could perhaps use the various prices that are announced in the world. The prestigious awards include, for example, the Grammy awards, which are awarded in 110 categories within 31 areas (pop, gospel, classical, etc.). They are also awarded, for example, the World Music Award for the best-selling albums of the previous year, the MTV Video Music Awards or the International Music Awards.

Popular server Ranker asked fans on social networks: Which female singer in the world has the best voice? About 1.5 million users participated in the survey and the results were quite close. Which singer did the fans choose in the end? Can you guess?

And if he is among them, support him and give him a vote. And if it's not there, please add it.

The best singer in the world

According to a poll by MusicRadar.com, the best singer in the world is Axl Rose, the frontman of the iconic rock group Guns N' Roses. He also beat Freddie Mercury, the famous singer of Queen, who ended up with silver. In order for a singer to be placed, he had to be the lead vocalist of the formation. He was not allowed to be exclusively a soloist with a backing band. For this reason, for example, Bruce Springsteen or Jimi Hendrix were not placed. Bruce Dickinson, the leader of Iron Maiden, and James Hetfield, the frontman of Metallica, succeeded in the fight for the best positions. They even got in front of Mick Jagger. But there are many of these polls, including ours, which is voted on by people from all over the world, and maybe you will vote too?

Best Male Vocalist

Male Vocals – A male voice is different from a female singer's voice. That's why we have a male singer category separate from the female singer category. An interesting thing about the voices is that men produce lower voices than women: this is due to the effect of testosterone during puberty, which lengthens the male vocal cords and thus lowers the frequency and the voice becomes deeper. That is why the male singer category and the female singer category are special. Because of the difference in their voices.

Have fun and vote for someone who deserves it.
