Census is compulsory

The only compulsory field is the amount of people in the household, not the other 74 questions asking random crap. rofl @ 10k fine, but murders/rapists get off on R500 bail? Only in SA.

Lol learn the difference between bail and a fine.
 
Don't want to be counted because you don't support the government? That's almost as sad as those pricks who refuse to be counted because they have to fill in their race. Please. :rolleyes:
 
Was counted last night, really those questions are not bad. Seriously people are making a big thing of this
 
Seriously - the questions are unobtrusive? They're asking about health problems, your income, very fine details of your employ... How is that not unobtrusive? It doesn't take a tinfoil hat to realize some of the stuff they're asking is not the objective of a census.

I answered the questions I was borderline comfortable answering. The rest, I just wrote a not saying I respectfully decline to answer this question.

South Africans have to complain about something.... always and forever.
Not to mention our apparent love of all things tinfoil....
 
Didn't know we had so many Statisticians and Actuarial Scientists among us.
 
How do you know if you are counted ? I assume HR will just give them your details when they come around at work ? Or do they only count you when you are at home ?

Only at home - you should be counted where you regularly sleep as at midnight on the 9th October AFAIK.

Would you be happy if they share that information with the local crime syndicate?

Well most probably one of the below has already shared my information

a) Maid (doubt it but not impossible)
b) Gardner (doubt it but not impossible)
c) Garden Services
d) The local crime syndicate who broke into my house at the start of the year

Yes your security is already compromised, so I guess in your case is fine to keep on sharing your info;)

....but it does not mean the rest of us must do the same
