(various years) http://www.statssa.gov.za/ A new feature of the 2000 mid year estimates was that two population estimates were provided, one taking into account the estimated additional deaths that might have occurred due to HIV/AIDS (With AIDS) and one that does not attempt to model the impact of AIDS (Without AIDS). The assumptions that underpinned these estimates are outlined in the relevant P0302 Statistical release.

   Growth rates are for 1996-2002. StatsSA usually only provide such growth rates by province and gender. More accurate intra-provincial population growth rates are required to provide meaningful denominator data for the calculation of a range of health indicators at district level.
