Gauteng

The phrase, “don’t let its size fool you” comes to mind when thinking of the province of Gauteng. Although it is the smallest province in South Africa, covering only 1.4% of the country’s total area, it is action packed with attractions and activities. The word Gauteng is Sotho for “place of gold” and as many people know, this is what started it all for the little province. People moved away from the coast where they had been staying to try and get a piece of the then newly discovered gold fields. As more and more people moved into the area, towns began to develop and these eventually lead to the creation of modern day Johannesburg and Pretoria.

The origins of Gauteng were in people trying to get their hands on money and that culture seems to have stuck. The province has one of the best infrastructures and is one of the wealthiest in Africa. Gauteng’s weather is hot almost all year round, only broken by occasional thunderstorms, which brings to mind a good way to describe life in its various cities, charged with energy. Everyone heads to Johannesburg to make it big and because of this it is also the place to be if you want to be on the forefront of South African style, music and culture. Whether you want to be pushing the limits of these various art forms or just soaking up the benefits of the efforts of South Africa’s finest. Life in Gauteng is nothing if not fast paced.

However, people can’t be rushing around all the time, they’ll eventually burn out. So, to help the people of Gauteng deal with the fast pace of their every day lives the province has developed many forms of relaxing entertainment, in the form of botanical gardens, zoos, parks and even nature reserves within the city limits of both Pretoria and Johannesburg. There are plenty more nature reserves, such as the world famous Kruger National Park, scattered throughout the rest of Gauteng, with an especially high concentration to be found in the Magaliesberg Mountain Range. These places are the perfect weekend getaway for the residents of Gauteng and for those fortune enough to have more than just a weekend spare it is a wonderful place to spend a few weeks. There is definitely enough to see and keep you busy for more than any one weekend.
