Potchefstroom - Witwatersrand - Vryheid province is now Gauteng (Sotho word
for place of "gold")
Up to September 1995 none of the 9 new South African provinces have adopted
their own flags although one or two have proposals in this regard. There
is currently a debate in this country as to wether the provinces should have
their own flags or not with the ANC holding the view that the provinces should
not have individual flags.
Gauteng province has, neverthelss, adopted new Arms for the province! Details
(and an illustration) are in the latest SAVA
Newsletter.
