Gauteng (/xaʊˈtɛŋ/; Sotho pronunciation [xɑ́.ú.ˈtʼè.ŋ̀]) which means "gold" is one of the nine provinces of South Africa. It was formed from part of the old Transvaal Province after South Africa's first all-race elections on 27 April 1994. It was initially named Pretoria–Witwatersrand–Vereeniging (PWV) and was renamed "Gauteng" in December 1994.
Situated in the Highveld, Gauteng is the smallest province in South Africa, accounting for only 1.5% of the land area. Nevertheless, it is highly urbanised, containing the country's largest city, Johannesburg, its administrative capital, Pretoria, and other large industrial areas such as Midrand and Vanderbijlpark. As of 2015, it has a population of nearly 13.2 million, making it the most populous province in South Africa.
The name Gauteng is derived from the Sotho name, "gauta" meaning "gold" with [locative suffix "-eng"]. This is due to the thriving gold industry in the province following the 1886 discovery of gold in Johannesburg. In Sesotho the name "Gauteng" was used for Johannesburg and surrounding areas long before it was adopted in 1994 as the official name of a province.
Those who lived, went back running
Her light steps approached the door
ChouTfs house stands before her
Long has she waited for this
Harried steeds
Their owners stumbled
To report that her malevolence
Too strong to conquer
Guan De Gun was summoned
Slayer of Demons, feared in all Hells
TgSubmit to my sword now and
TgI shall grant you a quick deathTh
Chiong Kui Ya was called upon
Upholder of Order, Ghost Destroyer
TgRun all you want, like all othersTh
TgExecution is inevitableTh
Care not whether I live or die
But thy judgement shall not be unjustified
Why have you all turned a blind?
ChouTfs obliquity absurdly connived.
Thy escape, infraction of the Laws of Hell
Your slaying of entire troop just increases the anger of us
Damned Demon Natao shall be unmercifully punished.
You all shall rue the moment you stepped forth
How Noble your Godship no matter.
For his soul gnaws at mine, my hunger
You shall not stop me for nonsensical reason.
Blades flashing, quicker than the eye
She parried with her own, slicing
Spells hurled, seeking to envelop
She absorbed, and responded tenfold
Both Heaven and Hell under-mined her
Legions died in their attempts to conquer
fallen bodies Natao gladly stepped over
To despoil ChouTfs life at sight and grab his soul to hell
Grab your soul to hell
Hateful, Grab your soul to hell
Hateful, Grab your soul to hell
