Dear Colleagues,

I have a data set which is projected using the following projection, 
Hartebeeshoek94 Projection Gauss Conform LO31. This is a local projection used 
in South Africa. So far, I have only been able to find the EPSG code for the 
projection from http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/2054/ . I am actually 
looking for the Proj4 definition as the library in rgdal does not contain any 
information regarding the projection. Using the following command I found no 
information for the specified code

> poly <- readShapePoly("PCA_AreaOne_2_water_EPSG.shp", IDvar="cat", 
> proj4string=CRS("+init=epsg:2054"))
Error in CRS("+init=epsg:2054") : no options found in 'init' file

Could someone please provide me with the full proj4 definition as the spatial 
reference site does not seem to have it.

Many thanks and kind regards,
Wesley
