The rest have default, invalid proj4 definitions, except for 2054 (the last one) where I have attempted a proj4 definition but I dont think its quite right - it doesn't work.\r\n\r\nSA Cape datum.csv:\r\n\r\nThe proj4 definitions for the SA Cape datum projections are INCOMPLETE. They only include the datum specs, not the projection or central meridian or other parameters. \r\n\r\nApparently the problem is that proj4 does not support 'transverse_mercator_south_orientated'?\n\nMigrated-From: https://trac.osgeo.org/proj/ticket/18"}}
