Notes
The question on citizenship was a two-part question on the household and personal questionnaires. The first part obtained information on whether the person was a citizen of South Africa, another country or both South Africa and another country. The second part of the question asked for the other country of citizenship if there was one. The term ‘citizen’ was not defined on the census questionnaire.
On special enumeration questionnaires, only ‘Nationality or Citizenship’ was asked for and no information was obtained on dual citizenship.
The variable ‘Citizenship’ summarizes the information from all these questions. If a person was recorded as a citizen of both South Africa and another country, they are recorded as a citizen of South Africa in this variable. If information on dual citizenship is required, the variables ‘Citizen of South Africa’ and ‘Citizen of other country’ should be used.
