INTERNET COUNTRY code TOP LEVEL DOMAIN za. still relevent or not?

Written by Simomavuso@vodamail.co.za from the blog Relevency of internet top level domain on 23 May 2010
Favourite this post

The internet country code top level domain is za, meaning ZUID-AFRIKA. The word zuid-afrika is a legacy of the tme when DUTCH was used as an official language in SOUTH AFRICA. (ie before it was replaced by afrikaans).  After the DUTCH was replaced by AFRIKAANS, the name changed to SUID-AFRIKA (which means SOUTH AFRICA today).
Considering the above information, is it still relevent for us to continue using the internet country code domain za in our web and email addresses today?

very interesting, but i neva knew all that, so should we continue?

Lady: Why yo country doesnt have a name
me: It does, its called South Africa
Lady: No thats where it positioned/located at the South of Africa
Me: Yha
Lady: Ethiopia is on the East of Africa but not called East of Africa but Ethiopia, Just luck Swaziland is also on the South of AFrica but not Called South Africa. so they is nothing more to yo country then just being on the South of Africa
