Hi Lizanne,
As Sarel said, Spatial data in shapefile format for
each province is available from the respective Surveyor General Offices-
contact details can be found at http://csg.dla.gov.za/contact.htm [3].
This data is usually extracted once a month. Alternatively data for any
or all provinces can be obtained from the Chief GISc Professional at the
Chief Surveyor General's office in Pretoria. This data may be up to
three months old. The data is free, but processing time and postage has
to be paid for.
The data includes 2 shapefiles relating to farms- one
is the parent farm boundary, while the other is the farm portion
shapefile. This shapefile also includes polygons for both farms that
have never been subdivided and the remainder of farms that have been
subdivided.
Regards,
MIKE CAISTER
Spatial Database Manager

anyone tell me how to get hold of a recent Farm boundaries shapefile for
South Africa? We have shapefiles from 2005, and it would be good to get
the most recent version.
