Stats SA is currently conducting Geo- Frame Update in all settlements to gather data on the number of dwelling units within the country. This information is needed to plan enumeration operations for the upcoming Census. Information collected for frame update is about:

• Number of dwelling units within a property, including door numbers and addresses
• Gatekeeper information- such as the caretakers of properties, tenant/ primary resident, homeowners association, or security/guardhouse contact information
• The available bed/ overnight capacity of Special Dwelling Institutions

Updating the Geo-Frame will also assist our census fieldworkers to navigate to their allocated enumeration areas and collect data from the households. Stats SA requests co-operation with this exercise to ensure that the relevant information related to settlements is available for census data collection.

Fieldworking on frame update may be verified on http://statssa.gov.za/Fieldworkerverification/home.php
