No Alex only you struggle to read data

I just took the data from the SAME place that you got data for UK.

Good old Stats SA: from their website:
http://www.statssa.gov.za/news_archive/17sep2004_1.asp
"It is estimated that the population will decline from 45.2 million in
2004 (approximately 1,4 million less than the official estimate from
Stats) to 40.2 million in 2050 (presumably as a result of HIV
mortality)."
If they can say it, why can't I?
On the same page there is something about the death notification that
is that good as well. Read it if you want to.
