The Afrobarometer South Africa Survey 2002 was part of Round 2 of the Afrobarometer surveys, and collected data on the attitudes and opinions of the citizens of South Africa. Respondents were asked to rate South African President Mbeki and his administrations' overall performance and to state the most important issue facing the nation. Opinions were gathered on the role of the government in improving the economy, whether corruption existed in local and national government, whether government officials were responsive to problems of the general population, and whether local government officials, the police, the courts, the overall criminal justice system, the South African Defense Force, the media, the Independent Electoral Commission, and the South African Broadcasting Corporation could be trusted. Respondents were polled on their knowledge of government officials, their level of personal involvement in political, governmental, and community affairs, the inclusiveness of the government, and what their reactions would be to executive branch-sponsored government-imposed restrictions or prohibitions on the media, the judicial system, and parliament.

q54. identity group
We have spoken to many South Africans and they have all described themselves in different ways. Some people describe themselves in terms of their language, ethnic group, race, religion, region or gender and others describe themselves in economic terms, such as working class, middle class, or a farmer. Besides being South African, which specific group do you feel you belong to first and foremost?
