The existing layer was extensively updated by verifying each land parcel and extracting the updated cadastre boundaries from the 2016 cadastre data received from the SG. Where documentation and/or proclamations are available, the boundaries were checked against these. Also in some instances the SG diagrams were obtained through CapeFarmMapper to verify boundary descriptions. All the land parcels were then dissolved per conservation areas and the attribute information attached. Herewith the list per complex per reserve of all the changes and checks done to each;
ANYSBERG NATURE RESERVE

is unknown.

Grootvadersbosch (Thornhill) NR - Land purchased by WWF-SA but not yet proclaimed.

The wilderness area boundary must follow the Klein Kliphuis River (confirmed by Management). This now also matches the PACA

HOTTENTOTS-HOLLAND NATURE RESERVE COMPLEX
Assegaaibosch NR - Only have the overall proclamation that the reserve was proclaimed (Gazette 4854, 12 April1994, 37/1994). The proclamation doesn't list the properties included. Issues with two of the land parcels must still be resolved. Management indicated they must be removed, but I still need documentation to indicate this.

Hottentots-Holland NR - This reserve was proclaimed together with Jonkershoek, Gazette 6348, 16 Mar 1979, No. 469/1979. The proclaimed area on the map doesn't match the current 2016 cadastre boundary layers, especially the extra areas added to the southern tip of the reserve, and the fish-tail that links to Groenlandberg. No documentation available for these additions.
Jonkershoek NR - This reserve was proclaimed together with Hottentots Holland, Gazette 6348, 16 Mar 1979, No. 469/1979. The proclamation area on the map doesn’t match the cadastre boundaries, especially for farm 1023,
which is listed as French Hoek Forest Reserve. This might be why during the previous PAMP process, the entire cadastre unit was included as part of the Jonkershoek NR.
Simonsberg NR - All parcels are unregistered state land. No available documentation.
Theewaters NR - There was quite a correction made by SG on the farm boundary for 1/0 (smaller). Then farm portion 8/0 (41.1 ha) was included with the protected area, but is a MCA area.

It is also MCA. The area falling on the Theewaterskloof Dam must also be sorted out as this land is actually managed by DWS.

to look at capturing rather the entire rocky ridge, even what falls under the sea. Added 2 additional visible islands that seems to make out part of the ridge which wasn't mapped before.
Seal Ledges Island NR - No registered boundary available from SG. Digitized the island accurately from the SPOT6 2015 images. Then buffered it by 500m, as per the extension to the boundary proclamation in Gazette5325, No. 5 of 1999, 22 January 1999.

KNERSVLAKTE NATURE RESERVE COMPLEX
Knersvlakte NR - Proclamation in Gazette 7307, 12 September 2014, No. 10/2014. Had to remove the farm 178/8 as it wasn't listed in the proclamation, even though it was added on the map. Confirmed this with DEA. Then after
receiving comms from DRDLR, added back 178/8 and merged it with 178/2. The unregistered diagram no. 8821/1959 was withdrawn.
Lutzville Conservation area - Properties listed in the State Land list. Status unknown. Not on METT list. Properties removed as they are not managed by CapeNature and according to IAR list CapeNature is not the allocated user

Brodie/Kogelberg WWF-land (proposed reserve) - This is WWF-SA land that wasn’t proclaimed as Brodie/Kogelberg. Properties belonging to WWF proclaimed as part of Kogelberg Nature Reserve, Gov Gazette 8363, P.N. 131/2020, 4 Dec 2020.

Reserve proclaimed as part of Kogelberg Nature Reserve, Gov Gazette 8363, P.N. 131/2020, 4 Dec 2020.
Mr Hebron NR - According to feedback received from Tierck Hoekstra, the current boundary was derived by following existing fire belts at the time of hand over. These management boundaries do not follow cadastre boundaries. It appears that all the farm portions, both inside the reserve and adjacent are stateland. The land as per current boundary is what is managed by CN and therefore this is the area to be used in METT. Used the 2016 cadastre layer and clipped the farm portions according to old boundary. State land owned by RSA. No documentation available.
Rooisand (Botrivier) NR - Boundaries correspond with the area given in the proclamation of the reserve (Gazette 5951, No. 21/2002, 29 Nov 2002). The boundaries for farm 564 also match the SG diagram. BUT, the boundaries had to be adjusted for the high-water mark of both the coast and the estuary. Over years, the estuary boundary fluctuate. The cadastre boundary doesn't match the high-water mark as visible on high-resolution aerial photography. No SG diagram available for farm 565, so accepted the boundary provided with the 2016 cadastre data.

Brandvlei NR - All properties are listed as state land owned by RSA. No available documentation.
Groenberg NR - Property is unregistered state land. No available documentation.
Hawequa NR - Many corrections was made by SG to many of the farms incorporated into the reserve. Verified the list of farms against the list in PAMP. Part of this reserve is unregistered state land (no owner listed) and the other

MARLOTH NATURE RESERVE COMPLEX
Marloth NR - Proclamation Gazette 7400, 13 Feb 1981, No. 242/1981. For some or other reason, a private property 570/0 (29.2ha) are included in the reserve.
