South Africa is a nation of 44.8 million people of diverse origins, cultures, languages and beliefs.

Nine of the 11 official languages are African: Sesotho sa Leboa, Sesotho, Setswana, SiSwati, Tshivenda, Xitsonga, isiNdebele, isiXhosa and isiZulu, reflecting a variety of tribal groups, which nevertheless have a great deal in common in terms of background, culture and descent. The white population, about 9.6% descends mainly from the colonial immigrants of the late 17th, 18th and 19th centuries - Dutch, German, French Huguenot and British. Linguistically it is divided into Afrikaans and English-speaking groups. The coloured population covers 8.9%. They descend from slaves brought in from the East and central Africa and the indigenous Khoesan who lived in the Cape at the time. Khoesan, the original inhabitants of South Africa is a term used to describe two separate groups, physically similar they were light-skinned and small in stature. The Khoe, who were called Hottentots by the Europeans, were pastoralists and were effectively annihilated; the San, called Bushmen by the Europeans, were hunter-gatherers. A small, impoverished San population survive in the Kalahari desert and in the north Est of Namibia.
