It looks like Google Street View is finally coming to South Africa, my dad spotted this Google car driving past his house in Midrand the other day – driving around a gated community I might add

Google Street View Car in Midrand, Gauteng, South Africa

My dad managed to stop the driver and have a chat with him, apparently Cape Town and Pretoria are done, and there are 4 teams working the Johannesburg area. No mention when it’s going live but I guess the driver wouldn’t know that.

Google Maps for South Africa has gone live though; check it out at http://maps.google.co.za/
