President Hage Geingob has appealed to citizens to cooperate with the Census enumerators and provide accurate data for national development purposes.

Landless People's Movement (LPM) MP Henny Seibeb has voiced his concerns regarding the safety of census enumerators.

This comes in the wake of videos circulating where commercial farmers reportedly harassed and threatened the enumerators.

Vice President Nangolo Mbumba led by example today as he was enumerated for the 2023 Population and Housing Census.

Yesterday, September 24, 2023, was designated as the Reference Night for the fourth Population and Housing Census.

This means that all people who find themselves in the country on that day will subsequently be counted in relation to the household where they spent the night.

Namibian Statistics Agency (NSA) Statistician General Alex Shimuafeni is confident that the 2023 Population and Housing Census will be less prone to errors than ever.

Shimwafeni says the NSA will deploy a digital enumeration system for the first time this year.
