Interviewer instructions
<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></p>

Use the name the country is presently known by. Do not add names of cities or provinces.<br /><br /> Remember to use capital letters for the answers to 9a and 9b, and not to leave spaces between words.<br /><br /> Some people are reluctant to tell you where they were born. If necessary, you can stress that the information is only used for statistical purposes and will never be released to the police or other government departments in an identifiable form, only as numerical totals.<br /></svar>
