The information requested by the Honourable Member is not readily available in the Department. However, the Department has engaged various municipalities and stakeholders in an attempt to collate the requested information and through this process we have learned that the requested information is only collated through the Stats SA Census. The last Census took place in 2011
Should the Honourable Member have an interest in viewing the requested information at municipal level, the information can be obtained on the following website: www.wazimap.co.za .
