Acknowledgements

The authors dedicate this paper to Professor Peter Byass, who died suddenly in 2020. Peter’s death had profound personal and professional impacts on the team. His death has also galvanised us to continue his work on information systems in South Africa and globally. The authors would also like to thank community, government, and non-governmental stakeholder participants for agreeing to be part of the process, and for sharing their time, knowledge, and perspectives. Thanks also to the Verbal Autopsy with Participatory Action Research (VAPAR) team and staff of the Medical Research Council (MRC)/ Wits Rural Public Health and Health Transitions Research Unit (Agincourt), especially Mr Simon Khoza, Dr Rhian Twine and Professors Stephen Tollman and Kathleen Kahn. Thanks to Hanna Kruger for preparing the Google Map contained in Fig. 1.
