Answer:
Racial groups in South Africa have a variety of origins. The racial categories introduced by Apartheid remain ingrained in South African society[1][2][3][4] with South Africans continuing to classify themselves, and each other, as belonging to one of the four defined race groups (black Africans, whites, Coloureds and Indians).[4][3] Statistics South Africa asks people to describe themselves in the census in terms of five racial population groups.[5] The 2011 census figures for these categories were Black South African at 76.4%, White South African at 9.1%, Coloured South African at 8.9%, Indian South African at 2.5%, and Other/Unspecified at 0.5%.[6]:21
