South African Communities

I find it hard to believe that Miami has the largest community of South Africans outside of South Africa. For example London has 45,506 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London#Ethnic_groups UK 2001 Census Data). Whereas the whole of the US apparently has 45,569 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_immigration_to_the_United_States#Population US 2000 Census Data) Anyway, untill we have an actual source, I don't think it is worth naming the largest communities.

dodgy math

2001 UK Census, some 141,405 South-African born people were present in the UK.[2] In Australia, there were 78,444 South African-born people recorded by the 2001 Census.[2] The 2000 United States Census identified 68,290 South African-born people. Yet somehow the largest is UK, followed by the US? Someone can't count or what? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.61.79.254 (talk) 15:28, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned references in South African diaspora

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of South African diaspora's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 20:13, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Question

Is South African an umbrella term for all races that where born in South Africa or only native South Africans coz if you're not African then why would you identify as one? I'm asking because I'm confused Wowu1010 (talk) 21:36, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Definition of native:

(noun)

a person born in a specified place or associated with a place by birth, whether subsequently resident there or not. 2A00:23C6:70A7:B901:C1CB:7072:2FCE:2D39 (talk) 20:04, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
