nationally. To improve the said products and to keep up with trends and universality, CD: NGI has embarked on the Map Design project aimed at enhancing and improving the mapping products, where symbologies have been re-designed or new symbols designed using
good map principles and user communication value.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Department of Agriculture, Land Reform & Rural Development (DALRRD) (including language for administration in the public service), and usability. The constitutional mandate requires all official languages to be used in the country. The four proposed languages
to be used on the 1: 10 000 and 1:50 000 maps are extracted from the National Anthem where one Nguni language, Northern Sesotho, English and Afrikaans are proposed to be used on the said maps.
