Comply with census survey field workers
The random list sample for ward 97 contains 528 households and will be conducted by four fieldworkers in April.
WARD 97 residents are requested to provide correct information if they are selected for a census survey.
This is so as not to compromise area statistics into the national network.
The department of statistics remains obligated to convey a census every 10 years in order to update the country’s national profile.
In an effort to conform to government’s cost-saving initiative, a community large scale sample survey will instead be conducted for 2016.
Information will include topics such as demographics and education, living patterns, infrastructure and service delivery, immigration, fertility and mortality.
The random list sample for ward 97 contains 528 households and will be conducted by four fieldworkers in April.
Different from previous surveys, the current effort will be paperless and questions as well as answers will be captured via tablet and electronically uploaded into the system using GPS co-ordinates.
“Fieldworkers will be recognised by their yellow cap, yellow translucent vest printed with the Statistics SA logo and the word ‘fieldworker’, an identity card, introduction letter and information pamphlet,” said ward 97 councillor, Andre Beetge.
