Transvaal - introduction
The Transvaal (so called because it was situated beyond the Vaal river, as
seen from the Cape of Good Hope) was in the northeast of South Africa, bordering
on Swaziland, Zimbabwe and
Botswana and included the bantustans of
Gazankulu,
Venda,
Lebowa, KwaNdebele
(in its central northern part), KaNgwane (to the
north of the Swazi border) and the eastern enclaves of
Bophuthatswana. It has been reorganized into the new provinces of
Limpopo
Province,
Gauteng, Mpumalanga
and
North-West (eastern half) in 1994.
When a province of South Africa between 1910 and 1994, Transvaal had no
official provincial flag but the flag of the former Boer republic of the
Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek was often used
unofficially.
Antonio Martins, 30 May 1999
