Interviewer instructions
2. Instructions for the filling in of Part A:
(a) Persons to be enumerated in Part A. - Each individual, including children, babies, adults,
visitors and servants present on these premises at midnight between 6 and 7 May 1980 must be
enumerated in Part A. It should, however be borne in mind that:
(i) Shift workers and other persons working at midnight between 6 and 7 May 1980 must be enumerated at their dwellings as if they spent the night there.
(ii) Each family must be enumerated on a separate questionnaire. A person who is not a member of a family may, however, be enumerated with the family on one questionnaire.
See (iii) below.
For census purposes a family is defined as:
· A husband and wife (including a couple living together as husband and wife without
being lawfully married); or
· A father and mother with one or more unmarried children; or
· A father with one or more unmarried children; or
· A mother with one or more unmarried children.
The expression "children" includes stepchildren and adopted children. However, as far as Parts C and D are concerned, foster-children must not be regarded as family members.
Married children constitute separate families and even if such married children are living with their parents, they must be enumerated on a separate questionnaire.
(iii) A person who is not a member of a family (including a relative of the head or wife, such as a widowed mother, a divorced father, a brother, an uncle, etc.) and does not wish to be enumerated with the family, must obtain and fill in a separate questionnaire.
(iv) It is the responsibility of persons TRAVELLING in the Republic of South Africa on the night of the census to ensure that they are enumerated in Part A of a questionnaire on arrival at their destination. Persons travelling abroad will, on their return to the Republic of South Africa, be enumerated at the port or place of arrival.
