The distribution of white South Africans is fairly evenly spread. They currently make up 8-9% of the total population and are around 4.5–5 million. They are found in large numbers in practically every province in South Africa but always as a minority. They are high in concentration in large cities. Historically, in the pre-1994 provinces, the Transvaal and Orange Free State were predominantly Afrikaans-speaking, Natal was mostly English-speaking and the Cape Province was largely mixed.
