<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Niel<br>
<br>
Is the TomTom postcode dataset free and public? If so, great -
please send a link! If not, the public needs access to an
accurate, open, free data set of postcode boundaries since their
official custodian is a public entity. <br>
<br>
In an ideal world SAPO would provide this and we should push them
to do so. <br>
<br>
But in the meantime the best practical means to such a dataset it
to crowdsource it on a platform like OSM. Anyone aware of any such
initiatives or want to take the lead?<br>

Africa has as far as I know the most accurate and complete
Spatial Data for South Africa Postal Codes. Being at TomTom
and knowing how much time and effort had gone into it the
last years and comments from the customers I would suggest
using the dataset from TomTom.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
