Description
New CRSs for South Africa appeared in QGIS 3.
So-called EPSG:120480-102489 and EPSG:102562-102568 are not even in the EPSG registry, so where did they come from and why are they assigned EPSG authority?
They are completely unnecessary and redundant as 120480-102489 are already covered by the official EPSG:2046-2055 CRSs and 102562-102568 are already covered by the QGIS 'ZANGI' CRSs.
If they were added to QGIS, please remove them. Else if they come from proj.4, please indicate that so we can raise an issue with proj.
History

IDs above 100000 used to be user-defined in QGIS. But GDAL also uses them above CRSes come from https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/master/gdal/data/esri_extra.wkt. QGIS doesn't originally have them, but crssync adds them on install from GDAL (I guess also in 2.18).

- Operating System deleted (
MacOS)
102*** are usually CRSs from ESRI
http://spatialreference.org/ref/esri/?page=3
but I can't find this ones listed as part of their list.
#3
Updated by Nyall Dawson over 5 years ago
- Resolution set to up/downstream
- Status changed from Open to Closed
With QGIS 3.8 and the release of proj 6 library, any remaining projection definition related issues now should be filed with the proj project.
