     Extractions: Steve Mitchell, United Press International MBOTYI, South Africa , April 13 (UPI) The introduction of democracy to South Africa 10 years ago has brought about much-needed progress and improvement, but this same progress also might threaten certain cultural customs, such as the traditional healers that play a significant role in the lifestyles of the indigenous people. These "medicine men," known as sangomas, are found in many tribes in South Africa, including the Pondos and Xhosas. Just as with traditional healers found in other cultures, the sangomas use native herbs, roots and tree bark to make medicinal concoctions for everything from headaches to AIDS. They still are active in modern day villages, but as the government builds schools in these rural areas and more children receive a Western education, the sangomas no longer may be used and ultimately may fall by the wayside. "The young people, they know nothing of sangomas," Zukile Khambi, an independent tour guide and a Xhosa (pronounced KO-sa) living in East London, told United Press International.

     Extractions: Population 43,647,658. Note: South Africa took a census October 1996 that showed a population of 40,583,611 (after an official adjustment for a 6.8% underenumeration based on a postenumeration survey); estimates for this country explicitly take into account the effects of excess mortality due to AIDS; this can result in lower life expectancy, higher infant mortality and death rates, lower population and growth rates, and changes in the distribution of population by age and sex than would otherwise be expected (July 2002 est.).
