Gauteng remained the province with the highest population (15 million), while Northern Cape has the smallest population at 1,3 million. The Western Cape has moved from being the 5th-largest province in terms of population size in 1996 to being the 3rd– largest in 2022.
The President of South Africa, Mr Cyril Ramaphosa, accepted the census results from the Statistician-General, Mr Risenga Maluleke, in a ceremony held at the Union Buildings on 10 October 2023.
Census 2022 was the fourth census since the advent of democracy, with the other three being conducted in 1996, 2001 and 2011. This was the first-ever digital census in South Africa, conducted using the three collection modes; Face-to-face (CAPI), Telephonic (CATI) and Online (CAWI).
Census 2022 data collection started on census reference night, 02 February 2022, and ended in May 2022, with provinces finishing at different times. Censuses in South Africa were traditionally conducted in October but, due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the census had to be postponed to February 2022. Census 2022 was affected by unprecedented challenges, including riots, ongoing COVID-19 lockdowns and climate change issues such as flooding in some parts of the country.
Census data will be disseminated in phases. Phase 1, which launched on 10 October 2023, will give users access to a range of indicators at national, provincial and municipal level. Phase 2 will include electronic products such as the Community Profiles and more in-depth reports on particular themes.

Public Works and Infrastructure warns of a jobs scam
2 Oct 2023
As the festive season is getting closer, fraudsters have increased their unscrupulous methods of tricking unsuspecting South Africans to part with their hard earned money.
One of these methods, which is currently on the rise, is to fraudulently advertise jobs, falsely claiming they are at the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure. Unsuspecting job seekers are prompted to send their applications to a website bearing the name of the department but has slight difference from the official site.
Once the application is received by the fraudsters, applicants are requested to deposit money for a purported verification fee. Applicants are requested to make the deposit via cell-phone generated money transferee know as E-Wallets and at supermarkets like Spar, Shoprite, Pick ‘n Pay, etc.
After the money is deposited, fraudsters disappear with the money never to be seen again. This leaves the potential job seekers broke and their sensitive personal information at the hands of fraudsters who could further use the information to commit more fraud.
The Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI) will NEVER ask for payment for ANY jobs advertised. DPWI only advertises jobs through the DPSA circular and on the official DPWI website – www.publicworks.gov.za
The website, application links and the email addresses ALWAYS end with gov.za and never with .org as advertised in the latest fraudulent advert.
We urge all job seekers to always verify all advertised vacancies by going to the official websites as highlighted above. Job seekers are also advised to visit DPWI offices to verify any vacancies advertised.
The current vacancy scam that has been doing the rounds, is for 85 Data Capturing Clerks. The DPWI has not advertised this and warns the public NOT to click on the link and send their sensitive information.
