Geocachers in South Africa

Geocaching is alive and thriving in South Africa. The Heritage Cache was a project that involved 21 South African artists such as William Kentridge, Lien Botha, Willie Bester, Diane Victor, Willem Boshoff, Cobus van Bosch and Arlene Amaler-Raviv. Two years ago they each donated an item that reflected South African heritage, and this was buried in a case in Table Mountain. Anyone can stumble across the treasure, admir it and leave it for the next treasure seeker to admire. Geocaching is an adventure sport that has ardent fans world-wide. The modern treasure hunt already has more than 600 000 caches world-wide and uses GPS (Global Positioning Systems). The co-ordinates are published on geocache sites. The South African site lists the geocachers in ranking order.
