This data comes from CD:NGI.  It is either the same data or a lower
resolution data from the shape files that we obtained from CD:NGI under
the agreement OSM Foundation has with CD:NGI.  I suggest that you rather
use the shapefiles that we have and import those.  In terms of the
agreement all those imports need the tag "source=CD:NGI" 

The tracing from aerial photograph needs the tag, but I cannot remember
what tag we agreed on.

Grant, was it: "source=aerialCDNGI"?   

We should put this information on the South Africa Wiki.

The imports will have to be by small areas at a time, so as to make sure
that we do not over write better data that we already have.  Grant
Slater asked for some help doing the import some time ago, but I am not
sure how many takers there were, if any.
