Hm, the website http://www.statssa.gov.za/census2011/faq.asp says it
takes about 35 minutes and somewhere else I saw a huge questionnaire
with plenty moire questions than:
"you really only need to tell them how many people live at your
address."
What is right?

Dear
Observatory Residents
The South African Census process is underway and
while the public has been advised to be cooperative,
we urge you to keep your home and personal security
top of mind.
Information from Security Management Consultants
offers some valuable tips on what to be aware of
when someone knocks on your door:
- All
Census workers will have a badge, a handheld device,
a Census Bureau canvas bag and a confidentiality
notice. Ask to see their identification and their
badge before answering their questions.
- Census
workers are currently only knocking on doors to
verify address information so there should be no
reason for them to want to come into your home.
- Do not
divulge your identity number, credit card or banking
information, even if they claim they need it for the
Census.
- No
matter what they ask, you really only need to tell
them how many people live at your address.
- While
the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial
information, such as a salary range, you don't have
to answer anything about your financial situation.
The Census Bureau will not ask for bank account or
credit card numbers nor will employees solicit
donations. Anyone asking for that information is NOT
with the Census Bureau.
- During
the Census process, Census workers may contact you
by telephone, post or in person at home. The Census
Bureau will not contact you by email so be on the
lookout for email scams impersonating the Census.
Never click on a link or open any attachments in an
email that are supposedly from the Census Bureau.
Please remember that your
personal security is your responsibility too. Remain
vigilant and don't hesitate to report anything
suspicious in Obs to Vetus Schola on 021-447-1066 /
sms to 072 063 1653.
