Interviewer instructions
Show prompt card 3 and mark the applicable code.
This question is only applicable if there was no answer in Question 4.4a, as in the case of a non-response, refusal or 'Do not know'. Since this kind of information is very personal, the survey officer is instructed to inform the respondent that there are certain closures (Acts) that protect individuals in cases of this nature.
As a government department, Statistics South Africa is therefore compelled to abide by them.

Description
