A colleague of mine claims that he saw markings on the R572 (S22 22 18.8 E29 11 36.1) north of Alldays and south of the Mapungubwe National Park that looks like it is being used as a runway. The road on the map looks VERY STRAIGHT.
Anybody got some info in this?

The main road in Swartwater (near Alldays in Limpopo) is also a runway.The army used it in the 80's as a Drop off place.

Apparently being used by the mines around the area as a "delivery / drop-off" point. Was used in the 80's by the Airforce
It is on the register as Z27K - I am sure if you stick that into your GPS as destination, it will find it.
