Update current provincial stats for 2017/2018 statsSA release

Add project details (from the first two sections of the readme.md - overview and contact details, as well as contributers)

At Codebridge Newlands (Thu Jan 24 '19) we heard of the challenge to obfuscate location data, but still having it fairly accurate to make reasonable assessments and decisions.

Speaking to @ricki-z from @opendata-stuttgart who also obfuscate sensor location data on https://maps.luftdaten.info/ to protect the privacy of project participants, they round off the coordinates to 1/500 of a degree (distance approx. 100m).

In some cases, by chance, this might just as well be the exact location ;-). If security is still an issue with rounding, they suggest to maybe do the following: random value (0-50m) + constant (e.g. 50m), with direction random.

We might want this to be translated into Xhosa/Zulu/etc… ?

Checking that the Police GPS points are correct

Validate against scraping the police data from SAPS website:
locations and contact telephone numbers:
https://www.saps.gov.za/contacts/index.php

Cleaning of datasets (no specific skills needed):
Checking that the hospital GPS points are correct
scraping the hospital data to verify locations, contact details...:

Think of ways to incorporate historical data?
Ie: Change in domestic abuse incidence over time per province/district?
This would likely be a separate output file, so as not to overload the app.

Suggestions of how to implement this are welcome

@ColinAnthony I accidentally killed the project where the API was hosted, would it be possible for you to host the API on your own Firebase account? I am happy to deploy it if you can give me access to your account?
