South Africa's population has experienced significant growth, surpassing 10 million over the past decade, according to the country's statistics agency, StatsSA. The newly unveiled census results reveal a 19.8 percent increase from 51.8 million in 2011 when the last census was conducted.
President Cyril Ramaphosa, speaking at a press conference in Pretoria, emphasized the importance of this fourth census since the establishment of democracy in 1994. It contributes substantially to our understanding of the state and progress of the nation.
The 2022 census disclosed that more than 81 percent of South Africa's population identified as Black Africans, with 8.1 percent as "coloured" or of mixed-race heritage, 7.3 percent as white, and 2.7 percent of Indian or Asian descent.
