Hi!

I see you created the page on Districts of South Africa - thanks for a really good article! If you are interested in the topic, maybe you would like to join the WikiProject South African municipalities? By the way, may I ask what software you used to create Image:South Africa Districts April 2006.png? - I have also been playing around with the Demarcation Board data. Thanks! - htonl 01:20, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Districts

Hey there, I really like the map you've created with all the districts. One small problem though - there's an exclave of Eastern Cape in KwaZulu-Natal (I think it's just one municipality) which doesn't seem to be on the map. Joziboy 20 April 2006, 21:32 (UTC)

Ah okay. Didn't know that - so is Matatiele now in the EC? Hmm, there's quite a few maps with the exclave still in them if you want to have a look/edit them? On the Eastern Cape, KZN and Provinces of South Africa pages for example. Joziboy 23 April 2006, 19:40 (UTC)

Hi again. Okay now I know this has nothing to do with districts, but the maps you make look so damn good :) I was wondering if you could do one on the distribution of Zulu in South African provinces? With Maybe KZN dark green, and then progressively lighter shades as the proportion of the province who speak it as a home language diminishes. The stats are KZN - 81%, Mpumalanga - 26%, Gauteng - 21%, and the others all less than 10%. Only if you have the time though. Joziboy 5 May 2006, 21:11 (UTC)

Thanks, I didn't even think of that :) I've put up images in Zulu language, Xhosa language and Afrikaans. Joziboy 7 May 2006, 21:35 (UTC)

WikiProject: South African municipalities

Hi. Glad to see you're on board. -Kieran 14:07, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

I see you've been working on some KZN municipalities. I'm not sure if you've been handling the data programmatically or not? Anyway, I had been thinking that a lot of the data you've put in tables (eg: age, language and ethnic group distributions), would be better presented in bar chart format. If you like, I could whip up a python script to read in a csv file, and produce a chart from that. I could run this myself, or, if you want, I could send it to you to run (or both). -Kieran 09:16, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

NovBot

Do you have authorization to run a bot on the database? I have blocked NovBot provisionally, until such time as you get that authorization - I've looked at your contribs, and you have not yet made an application for permission.

Let me know when you've gotten the permission, and I (or another admin) will gladly unblock the bot. DS 20:19, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

No problem - I'm considering alternatives --Uxejn 21:11, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Languages of South Africa

Hello Wayne.

I just noticed that for some reason today when you added your table you somehow managed to revert my 19th March changes (mostly cleaning up after a vandal).

So I was wondering if it was a mistake and if you'd be willing to re-implement the changes? Basically, I directly quoted the Constitution, made the native names sane (again), and changed the references to "Sotho languages" to "Sotho-Tswana languages."

I'm just a bit frustrated by the incredible inertia that other editors have had in reverting that disruptive user's somewhat deranged edits...

Tebello TheWHAT!!?? 20:31, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Dude, I'm not sure what you mean?

Yes, the table is perfectly fine (I was a bit surprised at the ranking of Sesotho, and where are the 2006 results?) but my problem is that you had accidentaly reverted my changes and I was wondering if you'd be willing to reimplement them.

You mean would I be willing to translate the entire article or the title? A municipal district would be "lebatowa la masepala" in brackets after the name (it's a genitive construction, and so the name would be inverted in Sesotho, causing the unique name to appear at the end). A district is simply "lebatowa" in brackets at the end ("XYZ district" -> "District of XYZ" -> "Lebatowa la XYZ" -> "XYZ (lebatowa)").

Is that what you meant?

South african local election, 1995/96

Hi! I'm Hippolyte from the french wikipedia. I noticed that you create an article on the 1995 local elections taking mine as the main source. Do you know any electoral maps on this election ?

Thanks

--Hippolyte44 (talk) 15:15, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm not aware of any. Before 2000 local elections were mostly held in towns only - there was no sense of "commune" - the rural farming areas were largely governed by provincial governments - so a map would in any event represent disjointed areas. I know a few things: The 2000 elections consolidated many municipalities (communes) from over a 1 000 to 300-400. The municipalities also didn't coincide with so called "magisterial districts" which were used for statistical purposes (about 300 of those).

--Uxejn (talk) 19:45, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer.
The french users on wikipedia write an article on the 2011 municipal election. I would like learn the winners for two municipalities in Nothern Cape : Ubuntu and Emthanjeni please.
Do you know the results or a website wich would know the results because the mayors are apparently took office the 2 June. I make a map for the municipal election. Can you tell me if the DA won Nama Khoi and Hantam municipalities with COPE ?

General Election Results by District

Hi,

I see that you have posted these excellent updates about voting results per district municipality in South Africa. But I was wondering if maybe time has come to update them with the 2009 results since 2004 is becoming a bit distant in time now?

I'd do it myself, but I can't seem to find a compilation of results per district; only by metro and local municipality.
