This I never knew
Apparantly, the 7th digit in your ID number denotes what gender you have been registered....
1 - 4 = Female
5 - 9 = Male...........
I just wonder......... For a whole mess of reasons..... How many have got it wrong
....
Yip............ I can see everyone charging off to check theirs.....![]()
I did............
The results????? It's a state secrete ![]()
surely we all know our id…
surely we all know our id numbers
Yes.... But other than the first 6 digits which detail your birth date, I just thought that the rest where a sequential numbering.......
So you see, I'm almost in the grave & I learn that there is a "deeper" meaning....
what else is "big brother" keeping track of ?????
Morning Warren, the last…
Morning Warren, the last three digits depict your nationally, the very last one is a random number.
South African ID number
Informasie gekry van skakel.
South African ID number A South African ID number is a 13-digit number which is defined by the following format: YYMMDDSSSSCAZ.
- The first six digits (YYMMDD) are based on your date of birth – 23 January 1988 is 880123.
- The next four digits (SSSS) are used to define your gender – females are assigned numbers in the range 0000-4999 and males from 5000-9999.
- The next digit (C) shows if you are an SA citizen – 0 – or a permanent resident – 1.
- The next digit (A) was used until the late 1980's to indicate a person’s race. This has been eliminated and old ID numbers were reissued to remove this.
- The last digit (Z) is a checksum digit – used to check that the number sequence is accurate using the Luhn algorithm.
The graphic below details the different sections of an ID number, based on the fictitious sequence 8801235111088.
Pre-democracy classifications Before the race-group classification was abandoned, this is what the assigned number indicated (digit A).
- 0 – White
- 1 – Cape Coloured
- 2 – Malay
- 3 – Griqua
- 4 – Chinese
- 5 – Indian
- 6 – Other Asian
- 7 – Other Coloured

Liberale navolging
Middag vriende
Eintlik volg ons ruggraatlose regering maar net die liberale beweging van die liberale Westerlinge. Daarvolgens is die mens mos verantwoordelik om sy geslag te kies, selfs op 'n daaglikse basis. Nog erger, niemand mag daarteen beswaar maak nie. Jannie mag vandag 'n Sannie by die skool wees, en al die dames ablusies gebruik. More mag Jannie maar weer Jannie wees.
Die geslaglose identiteit het alreeds posgevat by die universiteite met uitreik van admin.-dokumente.
