How many provinces are there? Can you name them all? Can you name 5 major cities in SA? Coastal towns, cities, beaches, lakes, rivers, mountain ranges, valleys – do you know them all, any or some?
Let me help you out a bit.
SA’s nine provinces
- The Eastern Cape
- The Free State
- Gauteng
- KwaZulu-Natal
- Limpopo
- Mpumalanga
- The Northern Cape
- North West
- The Western Cape
Interesting fact – before 1994 SA had only four provinces. I was really surprised to remember that little fact. These provinces were: Transvaal, Orange Free State, Natal and the Cape. Who would’ve thought!?
I’m going to be following up this post with other small snippets of information such as Beaches in SA, Mountain Ranges and more!

I have lost the plot with towns and cities that have been renamed; don’t know what half the new names refer to.
