Use this file to get the CRS definitions you need in southern Africa, particularly South Africa, Lesotho, eSwatini, Zimbabwe and Namibia.
Most GIS software now implements the South African CRS (SACRS; incorrectly but popularly known as the "LO" system) which is based on south-oriented (or south-facing, 'west-south up') transverse mercator (TMSO). The codes for these are:
- Hartebeesthoek94 or WGS84 datum (post 1999)
- EPSG: all numbers from 2046 to 2055
- ESRI (rather use EPSG): 102480 to 102489
- Cape datum (for pre-1999 data)
- EPSG: odd numbers from 22275 to 22293
- ESRI (rather use EPSG): 102470 to 102479
