This is a map of population density based on that data. **Sources:** [Census 2022 *Provinces at a Glance*](https://census.statssa.gov.za/assets/documents/2022/Provinces_at_a_Glance.pdf) and [this basemap](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:South_Africa_municipalities_2016_blank_simplified.svg). **Tools:** LibreOffice to mangle the data, a small python script to apply the colours to the polygons in the SVG, and Inkscape for cleanup and adding the legend.
