    Calculated from 67 711 deaths due to TB and StatsSA mid-year population estimates for the relevant year. No adjustment has been made for under-reporting of death notification. The rate for South Africa includes deaths that are not allocated to a specific province and will therefore be higher than the average provincial value.
