In 2022, the estimated number of deaths in South Africa reached 663,075. This was lower compared to the previous year when the deaths in the country reached the highest level since 2002, at 701,360. From 2006 onwards (except in 2015), the number of fatalities dropped annually until 2017. In 2021, however, the count of deaths jumped significantly due to the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
