[OSGeo Africa] HELP

[Gavin Fleming]

Ruan, perhaps the District has them? 

Aurecon should not be selling them - we need some grassroots activism from people like you to help change this situation of govt data being inaccessible and being charged for it. 

just Google ‘open data south africa’ and upload any Govt data you find to one of those portals if it’s not otherwise accessible. We could also host them on http://maps.kartoza.com.
