[OSGeo Africa] Historic Topographic Map Series of Namibia now online

[Immo Blecher]

Thank you Grant,

Nice work!!!

@Tim: Any idea how to get the South African version working  on QGIS. I 
tried 
https://htonl.dev.openstreetmap.org/ngi-tiles/tiles/50k/{z}/{x}/{y}.png 
but it does not work. I guess I'm doing something wrong.

I would love to get more people to see the good work and maybe 
contribute/donate to the project (QGIS list).

Regards

Immo
