[OSGeo Africa] Data required - land ownership and ground water resources

[Walter Smit]

@Chris
Aslam might disagree, but his department (admittedly another directorate -
SPI) is constructing "El Dorado". Think spatial data from 13 sector
departments and some parastatals; each of the 700 plus spatial layers
assigned to a data custodian (responsible official); access over the
internet plus WMS and possibly WFS.

I cant elaborate, because it keeps me too busy :-)

    Seeing as ALL government employees have already gone home I suppose it
is 
    now safe to talk freely

    ( Ok ok I am joking ..... )


    I do not know about other areas but for KZN this might help

    http://devplan.kzntl.gov.za/MapsGis/whatisGis.asp

    The Cadastral Data Capture Project is interesting

    Other data appears to be available as well

    Why so quiet Mr Sam Yirenkyi ( Does GISSA not read this mail list ? )


    I seem to have found a bit of an "El Dorado"  ( why did I never ever
find 
    this site before ? Useless GOOGLE )
