SA Developer .NET

Hi,

We are developing a website that has a requirement to list all of the regions, cities and suburbs in South Africa and I was wondering if anyone could assist me with getting my hands on a spreadsheet file, csv file or even a webpage that lists all of the above mentioned information.

Thanks in advance if you can help us bypass lots of data capturing.

Fridgi,

 

We used to get a csv file from the post office.  Could be downloaded from their site back then.

Just a warning on the Post Office file:  When I was at FNB we discovered some issues with the data.  We eventually opted for a very expensive 'scrubbed' database, which proved immensely difficult to use as it was mainframe based.

Well you're in luck. I happen to have that kind of information. Drop me an email with the format you'd like the data in and I'll see what I can do for you. By region, do you mean province?

The interesting thing in SA is that we have so many names for the same place. Its goes the same for the streets.

Hallo all

What are the chances of me getting the electronic copy as well??

It is quite urgent if possible.

Thanks
