What changed, and when.

Every release below was produced by diffing the dataset against the previous one — added, moved up, lapsed, confirmed in a register, checked and not found. Every list below is diffed from the dataset. Only the headings and the one-line summaries are written by hand, which is the only reason the lists are worth reading.

Pins, photographs and the thin provinces

Most of the directory stopped pointing at a town centre and started pointing at a door — 523 listings now carry a real coordinate, up from 125, and five that were filed in the wrong province were corrected. 135 listings joined, weighted to the provinces that had least, including the directory's first entries anywhere in the former Transkei. The first 23 photographs arrived, every one openly licensed and of the actual named place.

The registers answered

A second sweep reached six registers the first pass could not: CrossFit's affiliate directory, HYROX's training-club finder, SA Olive's Commitment to Compliance list, Rainforest Alliance, IFOAM's worldwide PGS map and FLOCERT. Twenty claims confirmed with numbers, a dated negative against every name we searched for and did not find, and one confirmation withdrawn — a gym this directory had recorded as a registered CrossFit affiliate is not in the licensor's complete register, so the claim came off the page.

We searched the register named on each of these listings and did not find them. Registers lag and several certifiers publish nothing at all, so this is what the public record shows, not a verdict — each listing says which register was searched and on what date.

North West, and padel everywhere

North West coverage more than doubled and padel reached every province — 182 venues, each resolved to a town from its own published address rather than to a province centroid. A venue on the wrong pin is worse than a venue that is missing, so 46 rows whose town could not be resolved were left out.
