[okfn-za] South Africa Street Database

[Justin Arenstein]

I don't think there's an open source database for property numbers /
locations in SA, but you can get most of this info from municipal valuation
rolls. In Mpumalanga they come as CSV files, along with property values,
deed registration numbers, etc.

Cheers,
Justin
