A8: In last year’s State of the Nation address, he put the number at “nearly one million children”. This year, his figure is “over 700,000”.
Both are way below the actual numbers.Using data from Statistics South Africa, Gustafsson estimates that 2,409,953 children were in some kind of pre-school in 2016. The 2017 general household survey reported that just over 2 million children under the age of four were attending a “day care centre, crèche, early childhood development centre (ECD) playgroup, nursery school or preprimary school”.

It seems likely that the figure will increase to 10 million tourists. But in the absence of data for the full year we rate the claim unproven.
