Witwatersrand

Witwatersrand

The Witwatersrand is a large sedimentary range of rocky hills in South Africa. Although it has an elevation of 1700–1800 metres above sea-level, it appears low because of the average height of the surrounding mountain plateau. The Witwatersrand runs in an east-west direction through Gauteng. The word in Afrikaans means "the ridge of white waters".
