So, you need to define what you mean by a suburb, and then look for that. A further complication is that widely-used suburb names are sometime colloquial rather than 'official'.<br><br>Regards<br>Antony<br><br><br>>>> On 19 March 2020 at 22:41, in message<br><CAHwEHm2W6qahEeMCJDBcZUtFXCT6MhAE5bb0BtS_DiUnR9bScA@mail.gmail.com>, Nic Klopper <nic@1map.co.za> wrote:<br>> Hi Patrick<br>> <br>> The Stats SA sub-places is probably the closest you'll get.<br>> <br>> Regards<br>> <br>> Nic<br>> <br>> Nic Klopper<br>> Managing Director<br>> [image: 1map logo]<br>> <br>> 1map Spatial Solutions (Pty) Ltd<br>> 26 Richter Avenue, Wellington<br>> Western Cape, South Africa<br>> <br>> t: +27 21 873 0546<br>> m: +27 83 445 0211<br>> w: www.1map.co.za<br>> [image: skype:nic.klopper.88]<br>> <https://join.skype.com/invite/IhF8fw8RWBzP> [image:<br>> www.linkedin.com/in/nicklopperrsa/]<br>> <https://www.linkedin.com/in/nic-klopper-b205444b> [image: facebook] <br>> <https://www.facebook.com/1mapsa/><br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> On Wed, Mar 18, 2020 at 11:14 AM Patrick Ric-Hansen <br>> <patrick@compuplot.com><br>> wrote:<br>> <br>>> Good morning All,<br>>><br>>><br>>><br>>> Is there a reliable spatial dataset of suburbs for South Africa?<br>>><br>>><br>>><br>>> Regards,<br>>><br>>><br>>><br>>> Patrick Ric-Hansen<br>>><br>>><br>>> _______________________________________________<br>>> Africa mailing list<br>>> Africa@lists.osgeo.org<br>>> You can UNSUBSCRIBE at <br>>> https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/africa<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Africa mailing list<br>Africa@lists.osgeo.org<br>You can UNSUBSCRIBE at https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/africa<br>_______________________________________________<br>Africa mailing list<br>Africa@lists.osgeo.org<br>You can UNSUBSCRIBE at https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/africa</body></html>
