[OSGeo Africa] Prof Barry Dwolatzky of Wits University and the Johannesburg Centre of Software Engineering (JCSE) seeks advice

[Sylvain POULAIN]

Dear Chris, 

What is the meaning of the only map present in first link called
Province ? It's quite confusing : no legend, no explanation about colour
representation. 

Regards,

> I've been tasked with finding out who has sources of geographically-indexed data that could be used in combination with COVID data in populating the Dashboard, and in generating maps such as the GCRO one. Such geospatial data would also be necessary in implementing AI tools. We need data covering the whole country.
