The fourth census of South Africa’s population since the advent of democracy will start next month and Stats SA has called on all residents to get counted.

The nationwide population count is from 3 to 28 February.

This will also be the country’s first digital census.

Statistician-General Risenga Maluleke says about 165 000 fieldworkers will still be going door to door.

Statistics South Africa will spend R3.2 billion on the census, targeting 17 million households to collect demographic data.
