We are going to be having another census in South Africa in a few months’ time, and it is always interesting to see what statistics come out of those surveys. It is the only real way that a government gets to see exactly how many people there are in a country, what age and gender they are, and allows them to plan, for example, what schools need to be built in which areas, due to births and population movement of young families. I certainly hope that they take some time to look at areas which have become vastly more developed, such as Fourways, and build more roads there, because this is an area that is constantly developing, with more and more complexes and the roads simply cannot properly handle the numbers of people living in these areas. The current population is approximately 51 million and no doubt after the next census we will discover that it is higher than even that!
