The Antarctic ozone hole (which is larger than its Arctic cousin) is usually healed before UV-B from the Sun arrives. However, a large ozone hole will place the southern parts of Chile and Argentina at risk first, then New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa at risk (in succeeding orders)
The Arctic (northern) ozone hole is naturally smaller than the Antarctic (southern) ozone hole, and they occur about 6 months apart in time.... when it is winter at that pole.
Answer:
No country has a depletion issue overhead under normal conditions. The two thinning areas occur ONLY over the poles during their winter months. Australia has seen a portion of their country fall under the thinning area some winters, but that is a rare occurrence. No thinning has occurred over areas that maintain the sun year round.
The process that allows for the ozone layer to thin is a lack of sunlight. No science group blames man or CFC's for the issue itself, in fact the largest known thinning area occurred in 1858 before CFC's were used.
What some groups claim (and there is evidence to support this), that CFC's contribute to this issue.

What conclusion can be drawn about the ozone layer over southern Africa?
The ozone layer is very thin.
What is the thin layer of gas surrounding the earth and protecting it from the harmful uv rays from the sun?
The thin layer of gas is popularly known as ozone layer. It is due to the properties of ozone, that UV is absorbed.
The thin layer of the atmosphere at an altitude of 15 to 40 km in which ozone absorbs ultraviolet solar radiation?
The ozone layer!
Does the ozone layer thin during winter months?
The ozone layer this during winters. It is due to the increase in depletion at low temperature.
Why are the ozone and troposphere layers not considered main atmospheric layers in the atmosphere?
ozone is not considered as a layer because it is very thin. Troposphere is considered a layer.

What makes the ozone layer so thin?
CFC's are the reason. They react with ozone to deplete it and makes the layer thin.
