Undertaken in February and March, the 2011 study polled over 7 200 young South Africans between the ages of 8 and 22 in urban and peri-urban settings in six provinces. The poll included 72 categories, from careers and social media to fast food, cellular network providers, fashion, shopping malls, soap bars, fragrances and magazine brands.
