As of 2011, there were an estimated 75,000 Jews in South Africa, making it the tenth-largest Jewish community in the world. The majority of South African Jews live in and around the city of Johannesburg, with smaller communities in Cape Town, Durban, and Pretoria.

What is the number of Jews in South Africa?

There is no definitive answer to how many Jews are in South Africa. The most recent census (2011) showed that there were just over 67,000 people who identified as Jewish. However, this number is likely to be an underestimate, as many people who are Jewish do not identify as such on census forms. The Jewish population in South Africa is believed to be around 120,000.
