<P class=MsoNormal>Hi Nhlanhla,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>You have two options that I know of. The first is openstreetmap (http://www.openstreetmap.org/) for the streets and the second is the Global Administrative Areas website (http://www.gadm.org/). Placenames and schools etc you may have to get from a local municipal authority.<o:p></o:p></P>
