Abstract
This article reviews work carried out in South Africa on large-scale s tructures. It describes the first redshift survey and contributions to wards the Southern Sky Redshift Survey and its extension. Surveys of t he Hydra-Centaurus region, and behind the adjacent Milky Way, are also discussed. The plots and analyses derived from the ''Southern Redshif t Catalogue'', as well as very recent work in ''visualization'', are p resented.
