Hello everyone, 
We just updated the MapRoulette challenges in South Africa with new OSM data, and also created a couple of new ones for water and coastline issues, where roads or buildings cross the coastlines and waterbodies. The new challenges are posted here: https://maproulette.org/browse/projects/39168 <https://maproulette.org/browse/projects/39168>
In addition, thanks for finishing the previous batch of sharp angle, crossing roads and overlapping roads!
Thanks!
Andrew

I plan to work on some of them myself too.
