South Africa is at about stage 3 of the demographic transition. South Africa's birth and death rate is 21 and 12, respectively. These numbers are reflective of a country in stage 3 of the demographics. It's rate of natural increase, which is 0.6%, is pretty low, which is of a stage 4 demographic, so South Africa could be moving on to stage 4 in the near future if the other qualifications are met.
