North West

North West occupies an inland plateau in South Africa. Broad grasslands and farming districts extend west towards the Kalahari, while the Vaal River marks much of the province’s southern boundary. In the east, the Magaliesberg and the Pilanesberg volcanic complex bring more rugged relief; Pilanesberg National Park is among the province’s key protected areas. Mahikeng, the provincial capital, is known for the Siege of Mafeking during the South African War. Near Taung, the 1924 discovery of the Taung Child became a landmark in the study of human origins.
