A survey by a Cape Town company has found that forty percent of South Africa's township residents do not know what the protection of state information bill is about.

An average of 40% of 1 108 people questioned in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban had never heard of the bill nor followed the national debate about it.


This is according to research by ikapadata, a company that specialises in measuring opinions of people living in townships.

The research showed 21% of respondents supported the bill, 25% thought it was bad and 14% knew of it but had no opinion.
