Ensure your safety during Statistics South Africa’s nationwide population and housing CENSUS this February.

Statistics South Africa is set to conduct a nationwide population and housing census from 3 to 28 February 2022. To ensure that you do not fall victim to criminals posing as Stats SA fieldworkers, please take note of the following:

  1. All Stats SA fieldworkers have been issued with a Census 2022-branded bib, peak cap, mask and bag.
  2. Fieldworkers have a census-branded ID card printed with the Stats SA logo with their photo, name, unique number and the district they have been assigned to work in.
  3. Households can make use of the online Fieldworker Verification System search to verify the fieldworker’s credentials.
  4. Households can contact the call centre on 0800 110 248, or the provincial census contact person to verify the legitimacy of the person knocking at their door.
