The Statistician General commented that “the level of the revised GDP at current prices is between 0.5 and 3.9 percent higher than the previous estimates for the period  2/5  1998 to 2003. The GDP for the year 2003 is 3.5% higher than previously reported”. In summary, this means that the level of economic activity in South Africa is indeed very significant.
Secondly, the GDP per capita at current prices has improved significantly based on these revisions and if one makes use of the latest available 2001 population estimates. Previously, it was thought that the GDP per capita was R20,3 thousand (2000), R22,1 thousand (2001), R24,5 thousand (2002) and R26,2 thousand (2003).
