Stats SA to Handover Results to President Ramaphosa on 10th October 2023

Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) is set to announce the Census 2022 results on the 10th of October 2023.

The Statistician-General, Risenga Maluleke, will hand over the Census 2022 report to His Excellency, President Cyril Ramaphosa, in Pretoria, and announce the results of the population and housing count to the country.

Census 2022 was the fourth population and housing count in post-apartheid South Africa, with the first conducted in 1996, with subsequent censuses being conducted in 2001 and 2011.

The population and housing census was conducted in February 2022, and will provide comprehensive data on population size, demographic trends, and other service delivery related information.

Stats SA will be following the trend adopted by many countries and data will be released in phases. For phase one, the Census 2022 launch will only cover reports and indicators at national, provincial, district and local municipality level. Data will only be made available in the second phase.

A media advisory with details of the launch will be communicated.
