ZA

.za is the
Internet country code top-level domain (
ccTLD) for
South Africa. It is administered by the
ZADNA.None of the official names for South Africa can be abbreviated to ZA, which is an abbreviation of the
Dutch Zuid-Afrika. This is a legacy of when Dutch was an official language in South Africa, before being replaced by
Afrikaans, in which the name of the country is Suid-Afrika. Afrikaans joined English and Dutch as an official language of the South Africa in 1925, and in the South African Constitution of 1961 Dutch was removed as an official language altogether, decades before .za was introduced. However, the
.sa domain is used by
Saudi Arabia and ZAR is also the
ISO 4217 currency code for the South African Rand.
