Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) is pleased to announce the launch of its new-look website, which took place in the district of Umkhanyakude on 01 August 2013.<\/p>\n
Stats SA’s new website is an expression of a deeper paradigm shift. No longer are data and information simply seen as a set of bland, uninteresting numbers on a web page; rather, data and statistics are now presented for what they really are, as stories about our country and about the lives of ordinary people who live here.<\/p>\n
Through the narrative of stories and the visual display of infographics, Stats SA’s new web portal is a tool that those curious about South Africa can use to explore our country’s people, its economy, the natural environment, and the conditions under which South Africans live.<\/p>\n
This is only phase 1 of a project which aims to ensure that all South Africans can confidently say, \u201cThis is the South Africa I know, the home I understand.\u201d By making data more easily accessible and user-friendly, Stats SA aims to encourage citizens to take an interest in their communities and become involved in improving their lives and that of those around them.<\/p>\n
