The two largest African nations in the Republic of South Africa are the Zulu and the Xhosa. They are part of Nguni, one of the four major ethnic divisions in South Africa, which represents more or less two thirds of the Black population in South Africa. The other three major ethnic divisions are Sotho, Shangaan-Tsonga and Venda.
