Hi Marc, I cant vouch for the information, but would however follow the instructions as per the website:
"Legally, Section 16 of the Statistics Act (Act 6 of 1999) obliges a respondent to answer all questions put to them by an officer of Statistics South Africa. Section 17 of the Statistics Act guarantees the confidentiality of your information.
