[OSGeo Africa] Traditional council boundary data

[Peter Newmarch]

COGTA have this information. The problem is the spatial extents of their data – it shows areas well in excess of what has been gazette as the jurisdiction of the TA. This is now permeating into planning documents and causing problems. 

 

So you need to clarify the data you seek from them – the Legal TA, or simply what people are doing on the ground (people don’t know the difference generally – but its having big development implications). I suspect the STATSSA data probably also suffers from the same shortcomings.

Peter

Hi Adrian,

 

I am not sure about COGTA though.

 

What I would suggest is use STATSSA data - EAs, Subplace and Dwelling Frame. The dwelling frame data has a field Trad_Auth (traditional authority).

 

Regards,

Sindile

Hi all,

 

Does anyone have a shapefile of the areas of traditional councils (formerly known as "tribal authorities")? I presume COGTA is the official custodian of this data - anyone know who to contact there?

 

Thanks,

Adrian
