This varied topography and oceanic influence result in a great variety of climatic zones. The climatic zones range from the extreme desert of the southern <a href="/wiki/Namib" title="Namib">Namib</a> in the farthest northwest to the lush subtropical climate in the east along the border with Mozambique and the Indian Ocean. Winters in South Africa occur between June and August. The extreme southwest has a climate similar to that of the <a href="/wiki/Mediterranean_climate" title="Mediterranean climate">Mediterranean</a> with wet winters and hot, dry summers, hosting the famous <a href="/wiki/Fynbos" title="Fynbos">fynbos</a> <a href="/wiki/Biome" title="Biome">biome</a> of shrubland and <a href="/wiki/Albany_thickets" title="Albany thickets">thicket</a>. This area produces much of the wine in South Africa and is known for its wind, which blows intermittently almost all year. The severity of this wind made passing around the Cape of Good Hope particularly treacherous for sailors, causing many shipwrecks. Further east on the south coast, rainfall is distributed more evenly throughout the year, producing a green landscape. The annual rainfall increases south of the Lowveld, especially near the coast, which is <a href="/wiki/Subtropics" title="Subtropics">subtropical</a>. The Free State is particularly flat because it lies centrally on the high plateau. North of the <a href="/wiki/Vaal_River" title="Vaal River">Vaal River</a>, the Highveld becomes better watered and does not experience subtropical extremes of heat. Johannesburg, in the centre of the Highveld, is at 1,740 m (5,709 ft) above sea level and receives an annual rainfall of 760 mm (29.9 in). Winters in this region are cold, although snow is rare.<a href="#cite_note-129">[129]</a> The coldest place on mainland South Africa is Buffelsfontein in the <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Cape" title="Eastern Cape">Eastern Cape</a>, where a temperature of −20.1 °C (−4.2 °F) was recorded in 2013.<a href="#cite_note-130">[130]</a> The Prince Edward Islands have colder average annual temperatures, but Buffelsfontein has colder extremes.

Retrieved 25 August 2013. <q>Others pointed out that the repeal of the Population Registration Act in 1991 removed any legal basis for specifying 'race'. The Identification Act of 1997 makes no mention of race. On the other hand, the Employment Equity Act speaks of 'designated groups' being 'black people, women and people with disabilities'. The Act defines 'black' as referring to 'Africans, coloureds and Indians'. Apartheid and the racial identification which underpinned it explicitly linked race with differential access to resources and power. If the post-apartheid order was committed to remedying this, race would have to be included in surveys and censuses, so that progress in eradicating the consequences of apartheid could be measured and monitored. This was the reasoning that led to a 'self-identifying' question about 'race' or 'population group' in both the 1996 and 2001 population censuses, and in Statistics SA's household survey programme.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Business+Report&rft.atitle=Debate+over+race+and+censuses+not+peculiar+to+SA&rft.date=2005-05-05&rft.aulast=Lehohla&rft.aufirst=Pali&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.statssa.gov.za%2Fnews_archive%2F05may2005_1.asp&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ASouth+Africa" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-159"><a href="#cite_ref-159">^</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFStudy_Commission_on_U.S._Policy_toward_Southern_Africa_(U.S.)1981" class="citation book cs1">Study Commission on U.S. Policy toward Southern Africa (U.S.) (1981). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=sq43lnbklEUC&pg=PA42">South Africa: time running out: the report of the Study Commission on U.S. Policy Toward Southern Africa</a>.
