South Africa is located at the southern point of the continent of Africa and encloses the sovereign kingdoms of Lesotho and Swaziland. Flanking the country in the north are, from east to west: Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia.The vital statistics system in the country can be improved if civil registrations become more complete.Due to the political history of the country the civil registration system was highly politicised. This inevitably led to negative attitudes of the majority of the population towards the civil
registration system. With the new Government in place, these negative attitudes will probably diminish.
