Welcome Tomas !
This site is usually updated weekly :

And if you don't like their img files, you can set up a GroundTruth script.
AFAIK no keepright.
Has someone compiled a list of Afrikaans to English translations ?
Weg -> Road
Rln -> Rylaan -> Drive
Str -> Straat -> Street
Sgl -> Singel -> Crescent
Ln -> Laan -> Avenue
Stg -> Steeg -> Lane
Hoekie -> Nook
Time for another mapping party ? The Cradle area is a significant tourist
