In 2022, the HSRC conducted the South African Public Relationship with Science (SAPRS) Survey. The main survey sample was drawn from 6442 households across the country’s nine provinces. The realised sample included a nationally representative sample of 5960 households, and 500 purposively selected, representative special samples in two locations, to explore the public’s science and technology knowledge, attitudes and engagements: • Four main towns in the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) footprint area in the Northern Cape. • The town of Cofimvaba in the Eastern Cape, which houses the Albertina Nontsikelelo Sisulu Science Centre.
