[OSGeo Africa] Erven in Cape Town

Hi Adi

Here's how to interpret the 21 digit code:
http://csg.dla.gov.za/21charac.htm

In an up-to-date database representing a single time and status, the 21
digit code must be unique per parcel. If consolidations, subdivisions,
etc. have not been updated or if your dataset represents a long time
period and not just the current state or has multiple legal statuses,
you might well get duplicates. e.g. if you get the national parcel
database from the SG office you'll find thousands of duplicates.

There's only one national cadastre so City of Cape Town will follow the
same rules and structure as any other region.
