I notice on the list of gravel roads that the S7 is called the "Mestel Dam Road". But according to my records (and maps), the S7 is the road passing Shabeni on the western side (the S10 - Shabeni Road - going around Shabeni is turning off from the S7).

The road passing Mestel Dam (the turn-off is 0.2 km from Numbi Gate) used to be part of the S1. The turn-off to Albasini Ruins was the S104.

When Phabeni Gate was built, the road numbers changed. The S1 is now the road between Phabeni and the H11. The road coming from Numbi (passing Mestel Dam) is now part of the S3 (towards Kruger Gate). The S104 does not exist anymore.

The S6 is missing from the list. It is the road to Leeupan (from the H1-2).

The S19 is also missing from the list. This is the road to the left of the H2-1 (coming from Pretoriuskop camp) and crossing the S8 to go around the Pretoriuskop hill. The H2-1 (between the H1-1 and Pretoriuskop camp) is also not on the list.

The S20 (between the H2-2 and H1-1) near Pretoriuskop is also not on the list.

The S53 (Nkulumbeni Loop) north of Shingwedzi is not included.

Should'nt the S55 be known as the Lamont Loop, and not Lamout Loop, as it passes Lamont water point? In that case the S135 should rather be known as the Mandzemba Loop and not the Lamont Loop.

The S58 (Dzundzwini Loop) is also not on the list. The same applies for the S66 (road to Vervoer Dam) and S68 (to Mlondozi Dam).

The S70, shown on the list as the Nhlanganini Loop, is according to my records the road onto Mathekenyane (formerly known as Granokop). The S69 is the Nhlangani Loop. The loop nearer to Nhlanganini Dam does not have a road number.

The S71 (road to Shitlhave Dam) is also missing.

Should the S85 not rather be known as the Olifantdrinkgat Road?

The S95 (just north of Letaba - before the bridge) is not on the list.

The S98 is known as the Thulamila Road (not to be confused with Thulamela - the historical site). The S98 (near Punda Maria Gate) is wrongly indicated on some maps as the S93.

The S103 (to Olifantsbadpan) and the S105 to Grootvlei Dam) is also missing from the list. As already stated - the S104 to Albasini Ruins should be removed from the list as it is now part of the S1 to Phabeni Gate).

The S114 is generally referred to as the Old Malelane Road. This used to be the road to Malelane Gate/Camp before the new gate and H3 were built.

The names of the S118 and S119 are switched around. The S118 is known as the James Road and the S119 as the Mlambane Loop.

The S120 (Steilberg Road) is missing from the list. Same applies for S136 (Boulders Road), S139 (Biyamiti Road) and S141 (Shimuwini Road).
