Supplementary notes

The source states the following regarding methodology and findings: "The data in the report is based on a survey commissioned by the Foundation in July of 2022. The survey was conducted telephonically amongst a sample of 3 204 randomly selected and demographically and regionally representative registered voters and has an overall margin of error of 1.7%. Whilst the data was collected from registered voters it can with a degree of confidence be extrapolated to the broader adult population of South Africa. Figures may not add up to 100% as respondents who failed to provide answers have been excluded".
