LocalitiesDiep River meteorite, City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality, Western Cape, South Africa

In this link to the Meteoritical Bulletin Database https://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=7642 at the bottom under synonymns is Constantia a suburb next to Diep River. I also found history of the fall on a real estate website https://www.greeff.co.za/area-profiles/diep-river/ the second paragraph mentions it. I didn't find anything on the web for Heritage Farm, Diep River.
There is a specimen in the Cape Town musuem but no contact email details on the website. Can anyone help with this or any other related information please.
Thanks
Debbie
