Statistics South Africa has labelled a report that says its census 2022 results do not meet standards, as unfounded and misleading.

This follows a technical report commissioned by the Medical Research Council.

The report says that Stats SA's 2022 census population estimate of 62 million people is overstated by a million people and that there are material discrepancies at the district and municipal levels. 

In a statement issued earlier on Thursday, Stats SA firmly denies claims that Census 2022 figures should be treated as estimates due to undercounting issues.

Thami Ngubeni spoke to the Statistician-General of South Africa, Risenga Maluleke.
