Hinduism is practised throughout South Africa, but primarily in KwaZulu-Natal. Approximately 1.1% of the South African population professed to be Hindu, according to the 2011 census. This is down from the 1.4% based on the 1996 census. The 2016 General Household Survey measured a further decline to 0.9%. Nevertheless, the population has been increasing in absolute terms from 551,669 in 2001 to 569,476 in 2011, and by this measure, South Africa has the largest concentration of Hindus in Africa after Mauritius. *The figures for 2013 and 2016 are not official census data.
