South African National Census of 2022
The South African National Census of 2022 is the 4th comprehensive census performed by Statistics South Africa.[1] The census taking period was extended in the Western Cape province to May 14, 2022 after it was announced that only 58% of the province's population had participated in it by late April that year;[2] whilst around 80% of the country's whole population had be surveyed by the same date.[2] The issue of under-counting in the Western Cape Province was a serious issue of concern for the Western Cape Provincial government as it might result in fewer resources being allocated to the province by national government on a per-capita basis relative to the rest of the country.[2]
