Unlike the census, which aims to count every dwelling unit, the PES is conducted in the selected areas around the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have taken a sample of less than 1% of dwelling units that were expected to be counted during the Census and we will use these to measure the recently concluded population and housing census,\u201d said PES 2022 Project Director, Naume Bopape.<\/p>\n<p>A multi-modal data collection method has been deployed for the PES that include online enumeration, face-to-face interviews, and telephone interviews.<\/p>\n<p>For identification, fieldworkers are issued with branded ID cards, orange over-shirts and marked vehicles. They will also be trained on COVID-19 safety protocols, which are in line with the Dept. of Health\u2019s guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>All collected information for the purpose of this survey will be kept confidential at all times as mandated by the Statistics Act no.6 of 1999.<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.statssa.gov.za\">www.statssa.gov.za<\/a>\u00a0 or call our toll-free number on <strong>0800 110 248<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Issued by Statistics South Africa<\/p>\n<p><strong>For media enquiries contact <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mr. Sivuyile Mangxamba, <strong>Cell: <\/strong>0828882372, <strong>email<\/strong>: <u>SivuyileMA@statssa.gov.za<\/u><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Media Release: Post-enumeration Survey (PES) 2022 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 07 June 2022 Post Enumeration Survey kicks off to measure Census 2022 coverage Statistics South Africa will conduct an independent survey to measure the accuracy and reach of the Census 2022 population count from 8 June to 26 July 2022.
