ABSTRACT: During October 1996, under the Census 1996 motto "Count us in", a hundred thousand employees of Statistics South Africa fanned out across the cities, towns, townships, informal settlements, villages, farms and rural areas of the country. Their task was to record the details of people living in more than nine million households of South Africa, as well as those in hostels, hotels and prisons. By contrast, Census 1996 was the first nation wide census since the splitting up of the country under apartheid after 1970 and sought to apply the same methodology to everyone: visiting the household, and obtaining details about all its members from a representative who was either interviewed, or else filled in the questionnaire in the language of choice.
