The term '''South African''' usually refers to anything belonging to or arising from the political and geographical region called [[South Africa]]. Of course there is a problem with an itinerant and multicultural cultural activity such as theatre - fior when does a production become "South African"? (When there is an South African cast? When the play is put on in South Africa? etc.)

[[Southern African]] is sometimes used to ''include'' '''South Africa''', but to also indicate a slightly broader geographic and cultural area, including neighbouring countries, such as [[Lesotho]], [[Malawi]], [[Mozambique]], [[Namibia]], [[Zambia]], [[Zimbabwe]], etc.
