Told you so....
Stats SA to meet with LGBQTIA+ community over census 2022 form 'exclusion'
Stats SA’s form asks a question relating to sex that only allows for two options: male or female.

Will start that from tomorrow until end of the month
OK the website pee'd its pants since I used a "+" in my email address.
Next problem - can't click the "Confirm" button on my address

Weird, I also used a + without issue.
My 5 digit code they sms'd doesnt want to work though. grrr
That's where I got stuck!
I received the 5 digit code without a problem, but it continued to say "Invalid OTP". Then when I tried it eventually without the + in my email address, the OTP were accepted.

My email and sms codes are totally different.
nvm, that was me spamming the "send" button

Weird, mine were all the same, although they didn't arrive simultaneously and as I had tried 1,000,000 times it could be that the corresponding one hasn't arrived yet?

Would love to know who built that half-assed POS system so they can be avoided like the plague.
I tried over several days using my e-mail (with a plus). Sometimes the code arrived, sometimes it didn't. When it arrived, the code was invalid. (And I did use the correct code since I had day-long delays between attempts.)
I then tried mobile instead, got the SMS first time and the code worked. So my assumption was that E-mail OTPs aren't working.
But from this, it looks just like poor shoddy coding - possibly an issue where they are sending the wrong OTP to the wrong person?
Don't care though - it is horrid. And the fact that they haven't fixed it yet, makes me not want to trust them with any more of my data. Not that I've received a link to complete the questionaire yet either - probably never will. Or maybe I'll receive my neighbour's questionaire...

I've still received no communication after registering for the online census.
Don't know anyone who has.
