Research and responses

Cape Province is the name of a defunct province of South Africa. It encompasses the old Cape Colony and was subdivided in to the provinces of Western Cape, Eastern Cape and Northern Cape Provinces following the abolition of apartheid in 1994. When this site has been accurately located, the name of the province should be altered accordingly [CMP 23/08/2010]
