South Africans who refuse to be counted by Census workers could face heavy fines, or even jail time.

Statistics SA says an increasing number of people are not cooperating during this year’s Census, which has led to an application for court permission to enforce a ten-thousand-Rand fine, or six months imprisonment.

Census 2011 is due to end on the 31st of October.
