Transvaal
This is the evocative region of South Africa formerly known as the Transvaal. Named after being on the other (trans) side of the Vaal river from the Cape, it is fabled for its grassland, savanna and karroid (Karoo) vegetation. The post-apartheid government split this region into multiple provinces: Gauteng, North-West, Limpopo and Mpumalanga. The short-story writer and journalist, Herman Charles Bosman wrote many short stories set in the Groot Marico district of the Transvaal.
