The South African Drinking Pulse Survey
Purpose: Purpose: This survey captures South Africans' drinking habits, preferences, and attitudes toward alcohol. With the country consuming about 7.8 litres of pure alcohol per person annually (above the global average of 5.5 litres) and spending an average of R414 million on alcohol every day, we want to know: how often do you drink? What do you like? What would you never try again? Have you had a "I'm never drinking again" moment? Target Audience: South African adults (18+) who have consumed alcohol

The South African Passport Pulse Survey
Purpose: Purpose: This survey captures South Africans' awareness, experiences, and attitudes toward their passport. With the SA passport currently ranked 49th globally and offering access to 101 destinations visa-free, yet losing access to several countries in 2026, we want to know: do you know the power of your passport? Have you travelled? Do you know where you can go without a visa? Have you experienced the new online application system? What do you know about restrictions and revocations? This survey will reveal the gap between the passport's potential and its owners' knowledge. Target Audience: South African adults (18+) who have or have considered a passport
