(Geography) About the urbanization of South Africa, what stage is its urbanization level in the world urbanization process?

It belongs to the over-urbanization mode (supplementary: from the perspective of the relationship between urbanization and industrialization development level, the urbanization situation in various regions of the world can be divided into four modes: synchronous urbanization, over-urbanization, lagging urbanization and reverse urbanization)

Brazil is a developing country with relatively developed economy in the world, and its urbanization level is quite high. However, its urbanization precedes industrialization and belongs to the over-urbanization mode. Before 1930s, Brazil mainly relied on immigrants to promote its urbanization process, which belonged to non-industrial urbanization. Then industrialization began, which further accelerated the development of urbanization. However, due to historical and policy reasons, serious urban problems such as regional imbalance, over-urbanization and slums have emerged in the process of urbanization in Brazil.

Football fans go to Johannesburg, South Africa to watch the World Cup finals, which is only temporary. Urbanization is a process in which rural population changes to urban population, and cities continue to develop and improve. It also means the expansion of urban land.

Although simple ball games can attract rural labor to cities and increase urban land use, it does not mean that the urban population has increased, so it cannot improve the urbanization level of South Africa in the long run. Besides, watching football in one city can improve the urbanization level of the whole country, which is unrealistic.
