I don’t know why, but when I came and sat in front of my computer this morning I decided to look up some statistics about South Africa. I came across Stats SA. I don’t know why I completely forgot about them while I was searching for some statistics, they are after all THE people in South Africa when it comes to statistics about our country.
I downloaded a document dated July 2009, which is the latest version I could find. Let’s see what interesting stuff about South Africa’s population we can find in it.
