Prepared 16 October 2026.
All recognised-province populated-place records from the downloaded ZA extract. Broad national coverage, NOT an exhaustive suburb register or current municipal-boundary certification. Source city/suburb classifications and administrative groupings may be incomplete or historical.
Adaptations: selected populated places; mapped province codes; retained source administrative parents; added IDs, curated search shortcuts and aliases.
No postal-code data was merged. No approximate nearest-city parenting was used.
Three records without a recognised province are retained in excluded_records and not offered in public filters.
