White South Africans
White South Africans are WHITE SOUTH AFRICANS! Ons is mense van die land! Don't relate us to Europeans. Edit that 188.172.158.82 (talk) 15:40, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

 * The same way that white Americans are invaders in the USA, Zulu Africans are invaders in South Africa, and so on. Reality is, anyone born in Africa is African, just as anyone born in America is American. More centuries have passed since white South Africans settled in South Africa than has passed since white Americans settled in the United States. 192.143.8.207 (talk) 20:13, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Why is it necessary for you to divide Africans? The Khoisan, Zulu and all other black folk are Africans. Furthermore, why should the frame of reference of outsiders determine whether so-called Zulu Africans as invaders or not, when in those days the continent did not even have borders. Look, we all know that at the heart of this attempted differentiation of Africans, is the desperation to conjure up some sort of legitimacy over the lands. 102.132.165.246 (talk) 18:49, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Economy section, first paragraph:

"South Africa has a mixed economy, South Africa's economy is the most industrialized and technologically advanced in Africa respectively, it has the second largest economy in Africa, after Nigeria and the 39th largest in the world."

This is a strange run-on sentence and I don't even know what the "respectively" means here. At the very least please change the first comma to a full stop (or period as Americans call it?) but here's my proposal to rephrase it (or something like this, feel free to rephrase it, English isn't my first language)

"South Africa has a mixed economy. The country has the most industrialised and technologically advanced economy in Africa, the second largest in Africa overall after Nigeria and the 39th largest in the world."

There is also what I think is an unnecessary capital letter in the next paragraph:

"South Africa is ranked 40th by total Wealth"

I think "Wealth" shouldn't be capitalised?

Thank you! 2A02:C7E:3188:4C00:75C1:4528:894D:8DAA (talk) 12:28, 25 May 2024 (UTC)


 * I uncapitalized "Wealth" for you, however I'm not sure if the rest should be changed, since the article is written in South African English (if this grammar issue is an issue in all forms of English, then I'm stupid). My real namm  (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 18:19, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Is the economic data still relevant? Last I checked South African is the largest economy in Africa. MikeySok234 (talk) 19:05, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

The request is under the heading of Government and Politics the information is outdated. The most recent election was May 30 2024 and it needs to be updated on the new Government of National Unity which was created a week ago. CaydynLendrum1910 (talk) 10:10, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
