First Thing is First | In February Stats SA will be conducting its first digital population census. This will mark the fourth population count since 1994 and Census 2022 will be the first digital population count. The census is held every 10 years, and the data of each individual in every household is collected. The project kicks off on the night of February 2, when the homeless will be counted. It is compulsory for every person to be counted and the Statistics Act imposes a R10 000 fine or a six-month prison sentence on anyone who refuses.
