Criminal: Alleged robber on census course fails to appear
Melumzi Hina (32), accused of aggravated robbery, did not attend his court hearing because he was training to become one of the census officials, says a report in The Herald. Port Elizabeth Regional Court Magistrate Kenny Cooney was shocked when Hini’s attorney produced a document in court saying he was attending a course that would enable him to be an enumerator in the census. Cooney expressed his dismay at the fact that a person charged with such a serious offence could be employed by the state to visit homes in order to obtain citizens’ personal information. He also expressed his concern at the sifting process involved in the appointment of census officials and remarked: ‘I will personally be reluctant to allow officials access to my residence.’ The report notes the matter was postponed until 21 February.

This looks suspect. Googling the alleged criminal's name give only 9 hit, the Legalbrief report and some forum and blog posts which quote the Legalbrief article word for word. One would expect much more than 9 hit and from some major news media too after 22 days.

Given the state of things, it is not an unlikely situation.. Regardless, it still would pay to be careful...

Agree completely.

The young Lady came to our door today, and asked if she could go in and sit as there were a lot of questions to ask. my obvious answer was no. It did not ruffle her at all, so she gave me the forms to be collected later. Those forms are a political joke. I made such a hash of them, (Unintentionally) with mistakes on every page. Also completed it in ink. Was supposed to use a pencil. She went through everything and pointed out the mistakes, and said she would fix it up. That was it. What I must say is that she was very polite and pleasant.
If these bozo's are going to scrutinize every form to check all the information asked. The results will only come out in time for the next count.
