South Africa is the 25th largest country in the world by land area, and with close to 53 million people, is the world's 25th most populous nation.

Indigenous Africans in South Africa are descendants of Khoikhoi and Banatu immigrants from further north in Africa, who first entered what are now the confines of the country roughly 2000 years ago. Whit South African are descendants of later European settlers, mainly from the Netherlands and Britain. The coloreds are descended at least in part from all of these groups, as well as from slaves from Madagascar, East Africa and the then East Indies. There are many South Africans of Indian and Chinese origin, descendants of laborers who arrived in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
