This is Mahatshula, or North Mahatshula. A large, newer suburb.

This is the Criterion Water Works and Lab, I used a YouTube video to learn the names of the buildings.

This is Emshlangeni, this suburb is younger than its surrounding suburbs. Lots of street names are "Something"-kazi Road.

This is Mahatshula south, I don't know much about it, but their primary school is massive.

A little bit done around Luveve North, this place has such a nice design. Reminds me of company towns #OSM #osmZimbabwe #osmAfrica

Mapped around the Cresta Hotel Churchill. This place is like 105USD a night. #osm #osmZimbabwe #osmAfrica

Here, Khumalo buildings tagged for roof colour, facade colour, heights and levels. Renderer F4 #osmAfrica #osmZimbabwe

When I first started mapping I was not that aware of the limitations of what can or should be mapped from satellite imagery

I mapped the private pools and backyard tennis courts of so many homes, doing that made me feel I was completing the map.

But now, I am feeling I should delete those data points for privacy reasons. I never asked those people if I could map their backyards, because I thought if I can see it I trace it.

Some of the best part of mapping in OSM is getting to know more about a place. How it works, how its shaped.

I'm always finding new question when I try to fill in details

Every day I spend at least two hours working on Openstreet maps, and I am happy with what I've been able to do
