::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. ] (]) 20:13, 4 June 2024 (UTC) |

There reads: "Pretoria is the administrative capital, while Cape Town, as the seat of Parliament, is the legislative capital. Bloemfontein has traditionally been regarded as the judicial capital. The Constitutional Court, the country's highest court, is located in Johannesburg."<br/> |
|
|
What do these all mean? Legislative apparently means that they make the laws. The highest court applies the law(s) in court cases, or what? I think "judicial" also means something law-releated. And "administrative" means that in Pretoria the decicions are actually made? ] (]) 15:39, 25 April 2024 (UTC) |

"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) |

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

|
|
] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The article ] has been ] because of the following concern: |
|
"South Africa is ranked 40th by total Wealth" |
|
|
|
<blockquote>'''Unreferenced and unimproved 15 years. No reliable sources on Google. Run of the mill last name. Not enough information to merge.'''</blockquote> |

I think "Wealth" shouldn't be capitalised? |
