Hi Anthony,Correct, I am looking for the colloquial Suburbs rather than EA's or SG townships. The colloquial suburbs are generally those that are in common use. I contacted  the Post Office to see if they had a spatial dataset for their postal codes, but they have not responded.It was wishful thinking as it is unlikely that there is a comprehensive up-to-date data set.Kind regards,Patrick   -----Original Message-----From: Africa <africa-bounces at lists.osgeo.org> On Behalf Of Antony CooperSent: Thursday, 19 March 2020 11:06 PMTo: africa at lists.osgeo.orgSubject: Re: [OSGeo Africa] SuburbsDear PatrickPrimarily, the problem is that there is not one common definition of a suburb.  So, you need to define what you mean by a suburb, and then look for that.  A further complication is that widely-used suburb names are sometime colloquial rather than 'official'.RegardsAntony>>> On 19 March 2020 at 22:41, in message<CAHwEHm2W6qahEeMCJDBcZUtFXCT6MhAE5bb0BtS_DiUnR9bScA at mail.gmail.com>, Nic Klopper <nic at 1map.co.za> wrote:> Hi Patrick> > The Stats SA sub-places is probably the closest you'll get.> > Regards> > Nic> > Nic Klopper> Managing Director> [image: 1map logo]> > 1map Spatial Solutions (Pty) Ltd> 26 Richter Avenue, Wellington> Western Cape, South Africa> > t: +27 21 873 0546> m: +27 83 445 0211> w: www.1map.co.za> [image: skype:nic.klopper.88]> <https://join.skype.com/invite/IhF8fw8RWBzP> [image:> www.linkedin.com/in/nicklopperrsa/]> <https://www.linkedin.com/in/nic-klopper-b205444b> [image: facebook] > <https://www.facebook.com/1mapsa/>> > > > On Wed, Mar 18, 2020 at 11:14 AM Patrick Ric-Hansen > <patrick at compuplot.com>> wrote:> >> Good morning All,>>>>>>>> Is there a reliable spatial dataset of suburbs for South Africa?>>>>>>>> Regards,>>>>>>>> Patrick Ric-Hansen>>>>>> _______________________________________________>> Africa mailing list>> Africa at lists.osgeo.org>> You can UNSUBSCRIBE at >> https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/africa_______________________________________________Africa mailing listAfrica at lists.osgeo.orgYou can UNSUBSCRIBE at https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/africa_______________________________________________Africa mailing listAfrica at lists.osgeo.orgYou can UNSUBSCRIBE at https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/africa
