Abstract: This paper documents the construction of a South African Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) for the year 2012. The SAM is built using a Statistics South Africa Supply Table and Use Table, National Accounts, and various household and labour market surveys. It provides a detailed representation of the South African economy and identifies 62 activities and 104 commodities; labour is disaggregated by education attainment level; and households by per capita expenditure deciles. Information on labour is drawn from the 2012 Labour Market Dynamics Survey of the Quarterly Labour Force Survey.
