The Southern Gauteng Region, Gauteng
The Southern Gauteng region of Gauteng includes the towns Walkerville, Meyerton, Heidelberg, the steel producing towns of Vereeniging and Vanderbijlpark and all their surrounding areas.
Did you know? Situated close to Johannesburg, one of South Africa's most densely populated areas, the Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve in Southern Gauteng plays an important role in outdoor recreation, environmental education and resource management.
The Vaal River is the province's main water source and water sports playground and dominates the region. The Loch Vaal reservoir, built in 1922, is a water system that provides Southern Gauteng over a billion litres daily.
Rural Southern Gauteng is dominated by the Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve situated just to the West of Heidelberg. Suikerbosrand is an area of unspoilt highveld that covers some 13000 hectares. It is home to a wide variety of wildlife and includes 65 kilometres of roads.
There are more than 80 kilometres of hiking trails that are all well marked and the visitors' centre includes an auditorium where regular talks and seminars are held.
