Details

It is not 100% clear whether a permanent location of this map exists. My discussions with the Chief Directorate: National Geo-spatial Information suggest that the data exists and is available on request. Their website was recently hacked and so they were unable to give me a permanent url for the map. Further queries can be referred to Sue Kirschner - skirschner@ruraldevelopment.gov.za
