Hi If we could get all that information it would be great, we have a very progressive set of laws in South Africa which we should utilise to the fullest extend as citizens.
Sindile, could you perhaps copy a row of data of what is typically found or provide a link? Would the cadastre information typically be included? Having cadastre information would be really crucial to import other municipal data and contextualise it. The other immediate advantage is that we could get correct and complete street names for all towns. There is a lot of information to gather though and a lot of councils to contact so could easily grow into a big project.
