    Tabel 3.—STERFGEVALLE GEREGISTREER VOL- GENS PROVINSIE EN GESLAG, 1954-1958. Net soos die registrasie van Bantoegeboortes in die platteland verpligtend gemaak is, so ook is die ver- pligte registrasie van Bantoesterfgevalle vanaf 1 Julie 1952 tot die platteland uitgebrei, maar om verskeie redes is betroubare gegewens nog nie beskikbaar nie. Die volgende is ’n tabel van geregistreerde sterfgevalle van Blankes, Asiate en Kleurlinge in die onderskeie provinsies, volgens geslag, en met aanduiding van die sterftesyfer per duisend van die bevolking. Table 3.—DEATHS REGISTERED BY PROVINCE AND SEX, 1954-58. In the same way as the registration of births of Bantu was made compulsory in rural areas, so the compulsory registration of Bantu deaths was extended to these areas as from the 1st July, 1952, but for various reasons reliable figures are not yet available. The following is a table indicating registered deaths of Whites, Asiatics and Coloureds in the different provinces, according to sex and showing also the death rate per thousand of the population.
