   Those figutres are nearly 50 years old.   
      
   According to more recent statistics, about 86% of the population claim   
   to be Christian.   
      
   The Roman Catholic Church is the third biggest group, after the Zion   
   Christian Church and the Dutch Reformed Churches.   
      
   The Roman Catholic Church has something over 3 million members, about   
   7% of the population.
