JOB ALERT: STATS SA GEARING UP FOR COUNTRY’S BIGGEST CENSUS

A census is held every 10 years and the last one in South Africa was held in 2011. It counted 2.1 million foreigners and more than 50 million people in total. Stats SA has appealed to all households to welcome and comply with field workers in the biggest Census South Africa has undertook.

Statistics SA has reopened registration for contract employment on the recruitment database for prospective candidates.

Those areas are:
