South Africa's population \n\nSouth Africa is a nation of over 46-million people of diverse origins, cultures, languages and beliefs. \n\nAccording to the mid-2005 estimates from Statistics South Africa, the country's population stands at approximately 46.9-million, up from the census 2001 count of 44.8-million. \n\nAfricans are in the majority at 37.2-million, constituting 79.4% of the total population. The white population is estimated at 4.4-million (9.3%), the coloured population at 4.1-million (8.8%) and the Indian/Asian population at 1.1-million (2.5%). \n\nWhile more than three-quarters of South Africa's population is African or black, this category is neither culturally nor linguistically homogenous. Nine of the country's 11 official languages are African, reflecting a variety of tribal/cultural groupings which nonetheless have a great deal in common in terms of background, culture and descent. \n\nAfricans include: the Nguni people, comprising the Zulu, Xhosa, Ndebele and Swazi; the Sotho-Tswana people, comprising the Southern, Northern and Western Sotho (Tswana); the Tsonga; and the Venda. \n\nSouth Africa's white population descends largely 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, although many small communities that have immigrated over the last century retain the use of other languages. \n\nThe label "coloured" is a contentious one, but still used for people of mixed race descended from slaves brought in from East and central Africa, the indigenous Khoisan who lived in the Cape at the time, indigenous Africans and whites. The majority speak Afrikaans. \n\n\nThe original inhabitants: now a tiny community in the Kalahari Desert, the San once had southern Africa to themselves (Photo: South African Tourism)  \n\n\nKhoisan is a term used to describe two separate groups, physically similar in being light-skinned and small in stature. The Khoi, 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 San population still lives in South Africa. \n\nThe majority of South Africa's Asian population is Indian in origin, many of them descended from indentured workers brought to work on the sugar plantations of the eastern coastal area then known as Natal in the 19th century. They are largely English-speaking, although many also retain the languages of their origins. There is also a significant group of Chinese South Africans. \n\nIn terms of religious affiliation, about two-thirds of South Africans are Christian, mainly Protestant. They belong to a variety of churches, including many that combine Christian and traditional African beliefs. Many non-Christians espouse these traditional beliefs. Other significant religions are Islam, Hinduism and Judaism.

Ghana is a country in Western Africa with a population of 19.5 million people, and an annual per capita income of $390 (Tizon, 2003). “In 1957, Ghana was the first West African country to gain its independence from colonial rule” (Education in Ghana, Nov. 14, 2005). Since then, the government has gone through rough times, but is now democratically run.

The richest person in Africa is Nicky Oppenheimer from South Africa. I guess the most curropt country in the world is Somalia (goverment is not running the country at all).

Impossible to measure.  Your answer is most likely a country with no central government.  There are African nations that are eternally in governmental flux as power is shifted amoungst rival warlords.

Africa is made up of many countries. Each of these countries is made up of people from very different cultures. It would be mind-boggling to think of how many different cultures and languages that we have in Africa. One country in Africa could have as many as fifty different languages. Refering to Africa as a country is the height of ignorance. The continent is huge and there lots of stuff about it on the INTERNET.

Nigeria    (n -jîr  - )\nA country of western Africa on the Gulf of Guinea. A variety of states were established in the region prior to the arrival of Europeans, including the Bornu, Benin, and Songhai empires. Exploited by Portuguese, British, French, and Dutch traders in the 17th and 18th centuries, Nigeria was eventually claimed by the British, who consolidated the area into one colony in 1914. The country attained its independence in 1960. Abuja is the official capital (since 1991), but many government offices remain in Lagos, the former capital and the largest city. Population: 108,467,000. .\nEthiopia    (  th -  p - ) Formerly Abyssinia ( b  -s n  - ). \nA country of northeast Africa. A kingdom was established around Aksum in the 1st century A.D. and declined in the 7th century. After a long period of disorder, the area was finally reunited in 1889 by Emperor Menelik II, who greatly expanded Ethiopia by conquest. Italy invaded in 1935 and held the country until 1941. Following the military overthrow of Emperor Haile Selassie (ruled 1930-1974), a socialist state was established. The country suffered enormous hardship from war with rebels from the province of Eritrea (which declared independence in 1993) and from famine and drought. Guerrilla forces toppled the government in 1991 and subsequently established a transitional government. Addis Ababa is the capital and the largest city. Population: 32,775,000.

Most of Europe went through the process that African countries are going through about 600 years ago.  The problem is, we sorted them out with bows and arrows, whereas the ruling elite in Africa are armed to the teeth with 21st century weapons.\n\nNigeria and the whole of Africa is growing up far too quickly and doing so in the knowledge that there is a better life to be had if one has lots of money, and that money is available to the corrupt.\n\nThus, anyone in any position of power anywhere in Africa has the opportunity to rise above the poverty that is endemic by taking corrupt money.\n\nAfrica is doomed to have a very few rich people in positions of power while the rest of the population ekes out a living in abject poverty.\n\nWhen we achieved greatness we had to do so by ingenuity and industriousness.  All an African has to do is be dishonest.  There really is very little hope for Africa in the short term.  This is a crying shame because Africa should be the jewel of the Earth's crown.  It has everything - a beautiful coast, wonderful flora and fauna and mineral wealth beyond imagination.\n\nHowever, the people are unable to see beyond today and they are thus doomed.
