EASTERN CAPE

The Eastern Cape is one of Africa’s rare and unspoilt gems, offering great diversity.  Discover superb beaches on its wild coast, the vast Karoo landscape with unforgettable star-studded night skies, charming, historic towns, and a warm welcome.  Port Elizabeth, East London and Graham’s town are in the province, as well as Umtata in the Transkei.  Qunu in the Transkei is the birthplace of Nelson Mandela, who is affectionately known as Madiba.  The Eastern Cape, a land of undulating hills, expansive sandy beaches, majestic mountain ranges and emerald green forests, is the second-largest of the nine provinces in terms of surface area.

The shoreline of this province extends from the Umtamvuna River in KwaZulu Natal, to the Storms River mouth on the scenic Garden Route, in the west, and stretching inland, to the north, bordering on Lesotho. Today, the Eastern Cape incorporates the previously independent `homelands’ of the Ciskei and Transkei. Read More »

GAUTENG – PLACE OF GOLD!!

Gauteng is situated in the north-eastern part of the country, and is landlocked, bordered by Limpopo in the north, Mpumalanga in the east, Free State in the south, and North West in the west. The province mainly comprises the three urban areas:
Pretoria, Johannesburg/Soweto AND Vereeniging-Vanderbijlpark industrial complex.

Gauteng  was created by the ANC in 1994 after the country’s first all-race elections, uniting six regions, including part of the old Transvaal province, into what might be the smallest South African province, but serves as the gateway into Africa.  Johannesburg and Pretoria are the two major cities in Gauteng.  There is more to Gauteng than the art of business and money-making.   Whilst Gauteng’s history lies embedded in the discovery of gold, today Gauteng not only has one of the best infrastructures, but its population of over 9 million people form part of a vibrant mix of energy and diversity that make it one of the wealthiest provinces in Africa.

Gauteng’s main attraction is big business, but there is so much more … museums, galleries, historical battlefields. Gauteng is also an entertainment playground offering world-class restaurants, shebeens, shopping malls and music venues.

The province is characterized by rolling hills, fold mountains and flat, savannahs with sporadic scrub brush. Acacia trees are the original flora, but foreign species of trees include Jacaranda trees with their purple flowers in October and Eucalyptus trees in woody clusters. There are a few streams (named “rivers”), but the Vaal River to the south and the impressive Magaliesberg mountains to the north form natural boundaries. Read More »
