I suggest that you first do a google-search with terms: shape file elevation map cape town south africa After you have put some search time into this, you will be in a better position to ask for help on the correct mailing list. I do not know if that mailing list is mirrored on Nabble. Generally it is recommended that you subscribe to R support mailing lists rather than use Nabble.
