POPULATION DISTRIBUTION TABLE 6: Demographic Analysis 14 TABLE 7: Population Growth Trends in THULAMELA (Stats SA 2001, 2007) CENSUS 2001 COMMUNITY SURVEY GROWTH DIFFERENCE 580 829 602 819 21 990 TABLE above shows that between 2001 and 2010 the population of THULAMELA MUNICIPALITY has increased.
9 The impact of this is that basic service backlog will increase. The more population figures grow, the more additional services will be needed. TABLE 8: Age by Gender (Stats SA 2001) AGE GROUP MALE FEMALE TOTAL 2 18 147 340 149 567 296 906 9 35 71 148 80 789 151 937 36 -64 43 111 72 473 115 585 65+ 105 011 27 890 38 391 GRAND TOTAL 272 100 330 720 602 819 TABLE 7 & 8 ABOVE: Shows that most people are in category between 2-18 years, followed by category 19-35 years. These two categories are dominated by Children and Youth. Government is required to provide more learning facilities and sport facilities to cater for the growing Children and Youth. The demand is felt more in providing more youth programmes. The table above also shows that there are too few senior citizens who are 65 years old. This confirms that the lifespan of people in the municipal area has been reduced significantly, and if the same trend continuous for some times, we are likely to have a youthful residence in future.
10 There are many things that are contributing to these changes. 15 10. SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE TABLE 9: Number of Households (Stats SA 2001, 2007) CENSUS 2001 COMMUNITY SURVEY 2007 DIFFERENCE 125 900 137 852 11 952 TABLE above shows that the number of households in THULAMELA has increased by 11 952 households between 2001 and backlog of demarcation of sites and the provision of service has become huge well. The number of household always increase as the population increases, therefore figures might not be absolute. Therefore, there s a need to review household figures annually to have absolute number of household. This will help to provide accurate figures to deliver quality service to communities.
