| findable_steps | I searched for data on land ownership in South Africa. The most relevant hit was that of the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform because of the Land Audit Report they recently started preparing and publishing. Then upon exploring the report, I found that the other land information is from the Office of the Chief Surveyor General. | |
