<p style="margin: 0cm; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Have a set of old borehole data that I wish to plot in QGIS.</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0cm; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">They were clearly drilled pre 1994 (Hartebeesthoek) and I am really struggling to plot them on QGIS. I suspect they may be Cape Datum.</p>

<p style="margin: 0cm; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The example that I am including is on the farm Rietvley 600 in the Balfour district.</p>

<p style="margin: 0cm; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The coordinates are legible as X:2968350;Y: 40600.</p>
