Notes

Each household, hostel and institution was asked ‘What type of energy/fuel does this household (hostel/institution) MAINLY use for cooking, heating and lighting?’. A table gave the response options for each of the three tasks. Respondents were instructed to only circle one code for each task. The list of options was slightly different for each variable according to what was applicable. If the response of ‘Other’, provision was made for a response to be written in but, if it couldn’t be related to one of the other response options, it was just coded as ‘Other’. The response list included the following detail for the first two categories (the terms have been summarised for output purposes): - Electricity direct from municipality/local authority or Eskom; Electricity from other source, e.g. generator, solar cell
