Loubser - CEO of JSE Limited Allan Gray (businessman) - Founder of Allan Gray Limited, one of the largest investment management companies in South Africa.

ATKV with redirect from Afrikaans Language and Culture Society and Afrikaanse Taal en KultuurverenigingY Done Arthur Johnstone Vukile Mehana Elkin Sithole, ethnomusicologist Maria Stein-Lessing art collector[2] SANJAMB 2006 Security Officers strike (South Africa), this was a major 3 month long event and should have an article Cecil Compton Paterson, South African aviation pioneer Joel Carlson, South African lawyer and attorney of N. Mandela (de:Joel Carlson), deported in 1971 on the basis of apartheid laws : Pages referencing large numbers of non-existent pages List of towns in South Africa, List of rivers of South Africa, List of South African lakes List of Acts of the Parliament of South Africa - these acts are grouped by decade, and most are red-linked. Cinema of South Africa, South African literature Music of South Africa Many smaller SA languages have no pages, or only stubs. Quite a few ministers and ministries on Ministers of the South African Government are still redlinked, contributions would be appreciated Cleanup: Ditwits – Front page editorial cartoon for The Times; needs some cleaning Private security industry in South Africa needs a serious cleanup and refs Articles on the WolterBot generated cleanup list should be attended to.

See Category:Stub-Class South Africa articles for articles to work on. Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife - If someone could put more detailed information, especially on conservation in KZN in general (eg: Rhino projects) All the SA language pages need work All eleven official languages, and also all sorts of non-official languages. Very little is published on most of the unofficial ones (and even many of the official ones). But readers who are mother-tongue speakers/native speakers of English, Afrikaans, any of the nine official African languages, any of the Indian languages, South African Sign Language and all of the other non-standard varieties/dialects, and especially those who may have direct experience of non-standard dialects (e.g. who know about speech communities embedded within other communities): these would ALL be welcome to contribute to the SA languages pages. Their knowledge is invaluable, especially if it has no published source. Of course, all such claims would have to be verified later, but in the meantime, such first-hand experience will push forward the boundaries of linguistic knowledge in South Africa. Most of the pages in Category:South African singers are still stubs, any artists (especially from the 60s and 70s) do not have pages.

Everyone is welcome! Article ToDo lists Some South African articles have ToDo lists on their talk pages that indicate work to be done. Talk:Desmond Tutu Talk:First Boer War Talk:Gautrain Talk:South Africa national rugby union team Assessments Assess articles in Category:South Africa for importance This can be done by adding South Africa-importance=Top|High|Mid|Low to the AfricaProject template on the articles talk page. Assess articles in Category:South Africa for quality This can be done by adding class=FA|GA|B|C|Start|Stub|List to the AfricaProject template on the articles talk page. See the Quality scale for more information. Assess articles in Category:Stellenbosch University Choir for importance This can be done by adding South Africa-importance=Top|High|Mid|Low to the AfricaProject template on the articles talk page. Ron2K is currently trying to clear the backlog of unassessed articles, but would welcome some assistance. The South Africa Portal There is very little activity on the South Africa Portal. The following should be updated on a regular basis The selected article The selected picture The selected biography Quotes Did you know Images Many South African articles are lacking photos. Please upload photos to Commons and add them to the correct category under the South Africa category on commons. See Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in South Africa for specific photo requests See Picture requests for Commons picture requests Geographical coordinates Many South African articles lack Geographical coordinates See Category:South Africa articles missing geocoordinate data for articles needing coordinates See Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates for information on how to add those coordinates Administration Comment on South Africa-related articles up for deletion. Feedback requested I've started the Category:South African media, with an accompanying list, but I haven't even started on the newspapers and radio stations. Looking for more... Looking at "What links here" for SA-related articles can often turn up uncategorised SA articles. Categorising them (even simply as Category:South Africa for now) will put them somewhere where they can be accessed for improvement.
