According to the 2022 census, the population of South Africa is about 62 million people of diverse origins, cultures, languages, and religions.[1] The South African National Census of 2022 was the most recent census held; the next will be in 2032.[4]
In 2011, Statistics South Africa counted 2.1 million foreigners in total.[5] Reports[specify] suggest that is an underestimation. The real figure may be as high as five million,[6] including some three million Zimbabweans.[7]
