Die historiese grootte en die moderne opgemete oppervlakte is twee aparte metings en word hier nie aangebied asof hulle mekaar bevestig nie. Die eerste is wat 'n landmeter op 'n kaart geskryf het, gewoonlik in morg. Die tweede is wat die moderne kadaster teken.

Navorsingsnotas

[3 Aug 2026, SRC-247] A NAMED PORTION - exactly what LEAD-0067 is about. The margin of the diagram reads "Portion 2 - Paardefontein (a portion of portion) of the farm Cyferfontein No. 115, PRINCE ALBERT", and the body: 3286 morgen 200 square roods in the Division of Prince Albert, FIELD CORNETCY OF TRAKA No. 3, "being Paardefontein, part of the Farm Cyferfontein granted to J.L. Strydom on the 15th April 1841". Surveyed and beaconed August 1916 by A.J. de VilliersM, Government Land Surveyor; deducted No. 2440, 19 October 1916. BOUNDED: NW by Wolve Kraal; E, N and NE by the Remainder, and from X to Y THE MIDDLE OF THE KOUKA RIVER IS THE BOUNDARY; S by Toornits Kraal and Lot No. 1 of Cyferfontein; W by Klipgat. THE TRANSFER, 22 May 1917, is stamped on the sheet: in favour of "M.E.C. Venter, born Swanepoel, married out of community to W.A. Venter" - a Venter and a Swanepoel, two of this project's families, holding ground between Klipgat and the Kouka. IDENTITY NOT ASSERTED, because 9 forbids matching on a name alone and this is initials. The model holds TWO women called Maria Elizabeth Catharina SwanepoelL alive in 1917 (PER-000581, b. 1888; PER-000711, b. 1884), and a Willem Adriaan VenterM (PER-000107) whose recorded floruit is 1879-1897, twenty years earlier. Plausible on all three counts and proved on none. LEAD-0070. No cadastral polygon: the extract holds only the parent 115 (7 346,5 ha), no portions. This portion is 3 286 1/3 morgen, about 2 815 ha, roughly 38% of the parent. [TO VERIFY]

[4 Aug 2026] plc_id was blank, so match_cadastre.py skipped this row entirely - it matches only within a registration division and a blank plc_id yields no division. Set to PLC-000001, Prince Albert.

*** [4 Aug 2026] sg_farm_key WAS 'NO-POLYGON' AND THAT WAS FALSE. *** The sentinel asserts that this ground has no cadastral counterpart, which is what 5 reserves it for - a vernacular name like Drooge Kloof that no diagram ever carried. This parcel is not that: the Surveyor-General publishes its polygon under the exact key its own farm and portion number imply, and it was sitting in geo/prince_albert_*.geojson the whole time. The sentinel is cleared so match_cadastre.py can do its job. Reasoning from absence, stated as fact - the same mistake as Drooge Kloof and Modderdrift, both recorded in 5a.

Wat die rekord kortkom

“Wolve Kraal” is named as a neighbour 2 times and we hold no parcel for it third order · B3 unheld-farm
2 separate surveys in this model put Wolve Kraal on the boundary of ground we do hold (PAR-000153, PAR-000182). It has no parcel of its own here, so nothing is known about who held it or when, while it borders farms at the centre of the project.

What would settle it The Surveyor-General's farm index for the registration division will give it a farm number and a diagram; the cadastre pull in `data/fetch_cadastre.py` then places it on the map.
Nobody is on record as ever having held this third order · B8 never-held
Paardefontein (Cyferfontein Nr. 115 Gdlt 2) is in the model and drawn on the map, and carries no ownership record of any kind, not a grant, not a transfer, not an occupation.

What would settle it The Surveyor-General's diagram for the farm number names the grantee and the date; the deed reference on it opens the transfer chain.

Found by breaks.py reading the model against itself, not written by hand, each one is a shape of missing record, not a fault in the data. The whole set is on the questions page.
