So a while back I was visiting a friend and he pointed out the following to me.
Perhaps someone can shed some light on it.
He has an old map of Kruger. No idea of exact date
It shows the S133 as being parallel to the start of the Mingerhoud Dam from the S47 junction to the H14
However in more recent maps
This road now links the S133 to the H14
Does anyone know when this change was made and why ??
S133
Re: S133
Yes, it is an old map. (He has framed it and hung it on his wall)
It's one of the fold up maps that one used to buy before the book types became more popular.
Mods : Please can you turn the first photo the right way up. Thanks

Re: S133
The S133 has simply been added/moved, but I don't know when Maybe they have removed the "133" going from Mingerhout because it was often flooded, as was the case with the S47 last time I was there
Also the small sand road, called "Shivulani", going from Erfplaas to Shivulani is not there.

Re: S133
That old road has been taken offline for many years, Dzombs!
I was there in 1992, and it already stopped at Mingerhout Dam if I recall.

Re: S133
Agree. But as Lisbeth said maybe to avoid road maintenance because this road is one of them that get closed very quickly after rain and damaged
Next trip to the bush??
