Highveld
EARTH
The scene captured on the road between Kruger and Johannesburg is an example of the Highveld industrial landscape in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa. This region, specifically the stretch between eMalahleni (Witbank) and Middelburg along the N4 or N12 highways, serves as the industrial and energy heartland of the country.
This area of Mpumalanga sits atop the Ecca Group of the Karoo Supergroup, which contains some of the world's most extensive coal seams.
