Census 2011

Done with mine,let the guy in the garden. Hahaha he said Zimbabweans are scared that he is going to deport them :D
 
I've been counted. Went out to fetch the rubbish bin at the wrong time.


But it is not that bad dude :) I also feel sorry for the guy that interviewed us coz people were rude 2 him. I mean it is only his job.
 
Got myself counted in the week. One,Two,Three, and no I do not have any goats or any other livestock, and I it was done. What alarms me is the negative attitude that people in general have towards Census 2011. I will not answer this or that, seriously grow up...just like Sars, you are merely a number, not a person of interest, and only special to the ones that love you.

Well said.
 
No one has contacted us yet? What is the procedure for doing a count at complexes? Some of them don't allow people to walk around the complex for security reasons

Our intercom system often does not work, and we never know if its on a faulty day or not. Body Corporate have a million reasons why. For all I know, the poor census person has been here 4 times and no answer as the intercom could be not working that day.

I think I need to arrange a time to meet them.
 
Well said.

No. Not well said.

The Census is raising Information that is none of their business. My health issues are between me and my doctor. My income is between me, my employer and SARS. They don't need to know where I work an what I do for a living. Also, with the recent threats of fines and arrests when people don't answer all the questions (http://m.news24.com/news24/SouthAfrica/News/Census-2011-Be-counted-or-jailed-20111021) it appears that the information may not as anonymized as was claimed beforehand.

The census raises more information than necessary for its purpose. To just blindly comply and trust that all will be well, is not 'growing up'. That's what sheeple do. Grown-ups are more responsible than that.

Very true.

People, you are not that special, just answer the questionnaire.
 
Census official finally arrived today. Politely offered to only provide the number of people living on the property and nothing further. I made a point of being very civil to him and explained briefly my objections. He was understanding and went on his merry way.
 
I filled up my census today with the help of the collector and it was +-10 minute process.
 
Census lady came today was very simple to do the questions. They are not obtrusive or anything. People who have objections I see no reason for it.
