Densité de population en Afrique du Sud (couleur plus foncée = densité plus élevée)
En 2011, Statistics South Africa comptait 2,1 millions d’étrangers au total. [5] Les rapports [ préciser ] suggèrent qu’il s’agit d’une sous-estimation. Le chiffre réel pourrait atteindre cinq millions, [6] dont quelque trois millions de Zimbabwéens . [7]

Numéros du recensement national de 1904 à 1985
Les données démographiques des bantoustans ont été supprimées des données de recensement sud-africaines pendant l’apartheid et, pour cette raison, les chiffres officiels sur la population nationale du pays pendant cette période seront inexacts. [8]

Selon la révision 2019 des Perspectives de la population mondiale du Secrétariat des Nations Unies , la population totale de l’Afrique du Sud était de 55 386 000 en 2015, contre seulement 13 628 000 en 1950. En 2015, 29,3 % de la population étaient des enfants de moins de 15 ans, 65,7 % avaient entre 15 et 64 ans et 5,0 % avaient 65 ans ou plus. [22] Toutes les estimations de population sont arrondies au millier le plus proche.

Statistics South Africa asks people to describe themselves in the census in terms of five racial population groups.[27] The 2011 census figures for these groups were Black African at 80.2%, White at 8.4%, Coloured at 8.8%, Indian/Asian at 2.5%, and Other/Unspecified at 0.5%.[28]
The white percentage of the population has sharply declined. The first census in South Africa in 1911 showed that whites made up 22% of the population. This declined to 16% in 1980,[29] and 8.9% in 2011.[30]: 21
Languages
South Africa has eleven official languages:[31] IsiZulu[28] 22.7%, IsiXhosa[28] 16%, Afrikaans[28] 13.5%, English[28] 9.6%, Sepedi[28] 9.1%, Setswana[28] 8%, Sesotho[28] 7.6%, Xitsonga[28] 4.5%, SiSwati[28] 2.5%, Tshivenda[28] 2.4% and isiNdebele[28] 2.1%.
In this regard it is third only to Bolivia and India in number. While all the languages are formally equal, some languages are spoken more than others. According to the 2011 census, the three most spoken first languages are Zulu (22.7%), Xhosa (16.0%), and Afrikaans (13.5%).[30]: 23–25 Despite the fact that English is recognised as the language of commerce and science, it ranked fourth, and was spoken by only 9.6% of South Africans as a first language in 2011.[30]: 23–25
The country also recognises several unofficial languages, including Sekholokoe, Fanagalo, Khoe, Lobedu, Nama, Northern Ndebele, Phuthi, San and South African Sign Language.[32] These unofficial languages may be used in certain official uses in limited areas where it has been determined that these languages are prevalent. Nevertheless, their populations are not such that they require nationwide recognition.
Many of the “unofficial languages” of the San and Khoikhoi people contain regional dialects stretching northwards into Namibia and Botswana, and elsewhere. These people, who are a physically distinct population from other Africans, have their own cultural identity based on their hunter-gatherer societies. They have been marginalised to a great extent, and many of their languages are in danger of becoming extinct.
Many white South Africans also speak other European languages, such as Portuguese (also spoken by black Angolans and Mozambicans), German, and Greek, while some Indians and other Asians in South Africa speak South Asian languages, such as Tamil, Hindi, Gujarati, Urdu and Telugu. Although many South Africans are of Huguenot (French) origin, South African French is spoken by fewer than 10,000 individuals country-wide. Congolese French is also spoken in South Africa by migrants.
The primary sign language of deaf South Africans is South African Sign Language. Other sign languages among indigenous peoples are also used.
By ethnicity
In 2011, the first language was Zulu for 28.1% of African residents, Xhosa for 19.8%, Northern Sotho for 11.2%, Tswana for 9.7%, Sesotho for 9.3%, Tsonga for 5.5%, Swati for 3.1%, Venda for 2.9%, English for 2.8%, Southern Ndebele for 2.6%, Afrikaans for 1.5%, while 3.4% had another first language.[33]
Among whites, Afrikaans was the first language for 59.1% of the population, compared to 35.0% for English. Other languages accounted for the remaining 5.9%.[33]

Religion in South Africa (2016)[34]
Protestantism (71.2%) Roman Catholicism (6.8%) No religion (10.9%) Traditional African religion (4.4%) Islam (1.6%) Hinduism (1.0%) Judaism (0.1%) Other religions (2.7%) Undetermined (1.4%)
According to the 2001 national census, Christians accounted for 79.7% of the population. This includes Protestant (36.6%), Zionist Christian (11.1%), Pentecostal/Charismatic (8.2%), Roman Catholic (7.1%), Methodist (6.8%), Dutch Reformed (6.7%), Anglican (3.8%); members of other Christian churches accounted for another 36% of the population. Muslims accounted for 1.5% of the population, Other 2.3%, and 1.4% were Unspecified and None 15.1%.[28]
African Indigenous Churches made up the largest of the Christian groups. Some believe that many people claiming no affiliation with any organised religion adhered to traditional indigenous religions. Many people have syncretic religious practices combining Christian and indigenous influences.[35]
Muslims are largely found among the Coloured and Indian ethnic groups. They have been joined by black or white South African converts as well as immigrants from other parts of Africa.[36] South African Muslims claim that their faith is the fastest-growing religion of conversion in the country, with the number of black Muslims growing sixfold, from 12,000 in 1991 to 74,700 in 2004[36][37]
The Hindu population has its roots in the British colonial period, but later waves of immigration from India have also contributed to it. Most Hindus are of South Asian origin, but there are many who come from mixed racial stock. Some are converts due to the efforts of ISKCON.
Other minority religions in South Africa are Sikhism, Jainism, Baháʼí Faith and Judaism.[38]
By ethnicity
87.9% of Black residents are Christian, 9.5% have no religion, 0.2% are Muslim, 0.0% are Jewish, 1.22% are Hindu and 2.3% have other or undetermined beliefs.
71.8% of White residents are Christian, 23.8% have no religion, 0.2% are Muslim, 1.4% are Jewish, and 0.0% are Hindu. 2.7% have other or undetermined beliefs.

Immigration
South Africa hosts a sizeable refugee and asylum seeker population. According to the World Refugee Survey 2008, published by the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, this population numbered approximately 144,700 in 2007.[41] Groups of refugees and asylum seekers numbering over 10,000 included people from Zimbabwe (48,400), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (24,800), and Somalia (12,900).[41] These populations mainly lived in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Cape Town, and Port Elizabeth.[41] Many refugees have now also started to work and live in rural areas in provinces such as Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal.
Statistics SA assumes in some of their calculations that there are fewer than 2 million immigrants in South Africa.[42] Other institutions, like the police and Médecins Sans Frontières place estimate the figure at 4 million.[43][44][45][46][47]

Others pointed out that the repeal of the Population Registration Act in 1991 removed any legal basis for specifying ‘race’. The Identification Act of 1997 makes no mention of race. On the other hand, the Employment Equity Act speaks of ‘designated groups’ being ‘black people, women and people with disabilities’. The Act defines ‘black’ as referring to ‘Africans, coloureds and Indians’. Apartheid and the racial identification which underpinned it explicitly linked race with differential access to resources and power. If the post-apartheid order was committed to remedying this, race would have to be included in surveys and censuses, so that progress in eradicating the consequences of apartheid could be measured and monitored. This was the reasoning that led to a ‘self-identifying’ question about ‘race’ or ‘population group’ in both the 1996 and 2001 population censuses, and in Statistics SA’s household survey programme.
