StatsSA is the national statistics agency. All data is published under a free to use for non-commercial use licence. Data is available at various levels of aggregation but is often difficult to extract data in bulk - e.g. for the census, each indicator needs to be extracted individually. Not all data is available in machine readable format. Some of it is available only in PDF files
