Afrikaans translation:inligtingswerker or inligtingsbeampte

Explanation:
"Inligtingswerker" suggests someone who has a job going from house to house to collect information. If this is not the context, I would use "inligtingsbeampte". This would be a person behind a counter whom the public could approach for information, i. someone who provides information.
