Interviewer instructions
<svar v="ZA01A414 ZA01A415 ZA01A416 ZA01A417"><span class="em">Questions P-09, P-09a and P-09b -- Place of birth</span><br /><br />This question is divided into three parts -- 9, 9a and 9b. Each person must answer two parts i.e. 9 and 9a <span class="em">or</span> 9 and 9b. First we ask if the person was born in South Africa. If they say "Yes", we then ask in which province. If they say no, we ask instead for the country where they were born.<br /><br /><span class="em">If "Yes" to P-09, go to P-09a, and then to Question 10. If "No" to P-09, skip P-09a and go to P-09b, and then to Question 10. </span><br /></svar></p>

<p><svar a="all" v="ZA01A415 ZA01A477"><span class="em">P-09a "In which province was (the person) born?" </span><br /><br />The nine provinces are pre-coded, so you write the correct code in the box. We have to capture the information according to the new provinces, not according to the old divisions, e.g. Gauteng, which is 7 on the list, or Northern Province, which is 9 on the list, and NOT Transvaal, which is not on the pre-coded list.<br /><br />For <span class="em">elderly</span> persons it might be difficult to define the place according to the present provincial division. Ask for the name of the place where the person was born and then locate that place in one of the present provinces. E.g. if born in Kimberley, write 3 = Northern Cape.<br /></svar>
