Geographic codes are provided for higher-level geographies : Sub-Place, Main Place, Municipality (Metropolitan Municipalities and Local Muncipalities), District Council (or District Muncipalities), and Province.
East Vew Geospatial has published the dataset in two formats: one ArcGIS geodatabase; six ArcGIS shapefiles, corresponding to thematic content. The dataset is projected as WGS1984.
