The results have been released, and of course it is going to be dissected and discussed in many ways revealing as they do so many interesting snippets about life in South Africa. What is quite interesting is the changing nature of the various neighbourhoods and areas with, for example Serengeti Golf and Wildlife Estate 51% African and 48% White.
In Johannesburg Dainfern Golf Estate and Bryanston are 63% and 62% White respectively, whereas Lyndhurst and Northgate are 57% and 64% African respectively. Interestingly enough, 81 White people live in Soweto, according to the census. It is probably not enough, but it does show, as with the figures above, that all of our suburbs are becoming more racially integrated and that is always a good sign for people living together. Surprisingly, despite its upmarket reputation only 12% of households in Sandhurst earn more than R2,45 million a year whereas of 13% of those living at the V&A Waterfront earn more than that a year.

It's nearly time to do another Census and they only released it now so many things could have changed in the two years but still interesting to see the results

We are still very overpopulated though don't know if that was mentioned in the Census and that is a problem that SA seems like they do not know how to face.

I hope that one day we get there when we can all live peacefully together - remember the past - but do not dwell on it - times have changed and we all need to get with the programme

I really wish I could see the day where issues like colour and culture and good heavens knows what else is no longer an issue. But rationally I think I would require hallucinagenic drugs to accomplish that as people as today are still as obsessed with the concept as they have been throughout history.

i live in northriding, in a complex, and the census stats are a perfect reflection of our complex. i wish the rest of SA could be the same. coloureds, indians, blacks and whites, living together in perfect harmony. every sunday while i wash my bikes, the neighbours come past with their kids, we have a chat and sometimes share a beer. laugh & chat about the working week, the sport, the weather. it's great knowing and experiencing, that south africans, regardless of colour or creed can live happily side by side.
