Notes

This question was asked to determine the population group of persons from the selected dwelling units. The respondent had to answer for each member and the enumerator was not to make any assumptions. The enumerator was also instructed not to come to any conclusions, which may be influenced by his observation or using people’s names during the interview. This question may seem very sensitive to some respondents especially in this post-apartheid era, but it is important to find out the composition of the South African population.
