Sensus was suppose to solved this.

The last proper census was in 2011. This years census was a complete flop. Unless it's completed within a week, your error becomes enormous due to population movement and they were still carrying on three months later.

Most people I know weren't even visited and those that were chased, the census takers away. You only do a census once and then announce whites earn 6 times blacks do, have washing machines and all sorts of goodies with no clarification of your statement.

Why is it necessary to know which race owns land? If they come and ask me. I'm identifying as black. See how fruitless but disconcerting their reasons for this are?

The Western Cape is going to need a correction, and I don't know which sample they will be planning on using to do that correction. Most people I know haven't made their submissions online, and neither have they been surveyed. I and others who have done their submissions online also haven't been surveyed. I won’t trust the numbers which will be produced in the Western Cape, particularly not Cape Town’s census.

I don’t know a single rural person who has been surveyed.

Just know that these statistics will be used to promote policy.

yes, because when those 70% of applicants apply for bonds for a flat, they own that land. I thought you were a superior species ?
This obsession with land... I don't understand it

One thing was on my mind for some time is ownership VS possession.
Friend has flat in Hillbrow (or there about) basically whole building was hijacked before 2000.
Colleagues farm was occupied some time ago and nothing can be done about it.
Now on paper (or statistically) he is owner but he has no possession of it nor derive anything out of it.
How many buildings or properties are like that and how much that would actually swing percentages of ownership if it was determined that they are not actual owners?

It could be significant.

It's not only the WC. I'm in another rural province that has had the same experience as you. Most there don't even have online access. The entire census was a sham.

Racist laws by a racist government,

interesting seeing how quiet the rest of the international community is about this.
those same people who protested and held sit ins and screamed and shouted, now strangely quiet.

very interesting indeed, wonder what it signify, that it was just all noise?
