CATALOGUE OF GEOSCIENCE DATA AND INFORMATION AT THE COUNCIL FOR GEOSCIENCE 2021-06-01 Document no: KIMS-CAT-001 rev1 Council for Geoscience 2021 BACK TO INDEX Page 1 of 226 FOREWORD The Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) (Act No. 2 of 2000) was enacted to give effect to the right of access to information contained in Section 32 (2) of the Bill of Rights of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996. The Council for Geoscience (CGS) is the national custodian of all geoscientific information and its dissemination to stakeholders and clients. The Geoscience Act (Act No. 100 of 1993) and its Amendment (Act No. 16 of 2010) states that geoscience data and information records published by the CGS in the form of maps, documents and databases are to be made available to stakeholders and clients. This provision gave rise to the development of the Pricing guidelines. Through the guidelines, the cost of data and information has been updated to ensure that the prices are current but yet affordable to the various categories of stakeholders and the public. The Pricing guidelines necessitated the development of a Data and Information Catalogue. This catalogue outlines the different categories of maps and databases available at either a cost or no cost. Moreover, in an effort to streamline data and information management, the organisation further adopted a Data and Information policy and subsequently appointed a Public Information Officer to streamline the function of the dissemination of data and information on behalf of the organisation and its key stakeholders. For all information and data requests, the Public Information Officer can be contacted on [email protected] for data related queries or [email protected] for information from the National Geoscience Library. General enquiries [email protected] or +27 12 841 1025.

  • North-West Province

    North-West Province

    © Lonely Planet Publications 509 North-West Province From safaris to slots, the pursuit of pleasure is paramount in the North-West Province. And with the top three reasons to visit less than a six-hour drive from Johannesburg, this region is more than fun. It’s convenient. Gambling is the name of the game here, although not always in the traditional sense. Place your luck in a knowledgeable ranger’s hands at Madikwe Game Reserve and bet on how many lions he’ll spot on the sunrise wildlife drive. You have to stay to play at this exclusive reserve on the edge of the Kalahari, and the lodges here will be a splurge for many. But for that once-in-a-lifetime, romantic Out of Africa–style safari experience, South Africa’s fourth-largest reserve can’t be beat. If you’d rather spot the Big Five without professional help, do a self-drive safari in Pi- lanesberg National Park. The most accessible park in the country is cheaper than Madikwe, and still has 7000 animals packed into its extinct volcano confines. Plus it’s less than three hours’ drive from Jo’burg. When you’ve had your fill betting on finding rhino, switch to cards at the opulent Sun City casino complex down the road. The final component of the province’s big attraction trifecta is the southern hemisphere’s answer to Las Vegas: a shame- lessly gaudy, unabashedly kitsch and downright delicious place to pass an afternoon. Madikwe, Pilanesberg and Sun City may be the North-West Province’s heavyweight at- tractions, but there are more here than the province’s ‘Big Three’.
