Tamil South Africans
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tamil South Africans are Indian South Africans or Sri Lankan South Africans of Tamil descent. Tamil people form the majority of Indian immigrants who came from India to Natal, South Africa, from 1860 onwards.[1] After the expiry of their indentures most of these Indians moved to the cities, becoming established as a thoroughly urban population.[2][3]
