No wonder the province is called Mpumalanga - “Place where the sun rises”. The province was previously known as the Eastern Transvaal but changed to Mpumalanga in September 1995. It is bordered by the Limpopo, Gauteng, Free State and KwaZulu Natal Provinces, as well as Mozambique and Swaziland. It is mainly situated on the high plateau grasslands of the Middleveld. In the North-east, it rises towards mountain peaks and terminates in a large escarpment. It then plunges to a low-lying area known as the Lowveld.

The western part is known as the Highveld, with its rolling grasslands, and as the name indicates, it is situated at a high altitude. East of the mountain is the subtropical Lowveld/Bushveld, mainly dominated by the Savannah biome. It is flat with a few rocky outcrops here and there. The Drakensberg, with an altitude of more than 2, 000m at most places, has alpine grasslands and small areas of Afromontane Forests. On the border with Mozambique, the Lebombo Mountains is rather a low range. The geological wonder of Mpumalanga is the greenstone belt that occurs in the Barberton area. This is believed to be the oldest rocks on earth, dating 3.8 billion years ago. They contain evidence of first life on earth, green algae. The Highveld watershed gives rise the Vaal-River, flowing west towards the Gariep (Orange) River and finally into the Atlantic Ocean. The Olifants
