Comments

StatsSA is the national statistics agency. Data is available at various levels of aggregation but is often difficult to extract data in bulk - e.g. for the census, each indicator needs to be extracted individually. Not all data is available in machine readable format. Some of it is available only in PDF files, but some datasets are available in Excel and ASCII formats under the 'interactive data' heading.
