The Highveld is a high plateau region located in South Africa, characterized by its flat terrain and elevation of about 1,200 to 1,800 meters above sea level. It spans several provinces, including Gauteng, Mpumalanga, and Free State, and is known for its grasslands and scattered trees. The climate is generally temperate, with summer rainfall and cold winters. This region is significant for its rich biodiversity and is home to various wildlife species. The Highveld also plays a crucial role in South Africa's economy, particularly in agriculture and mining, contributing to the production of crops like maize and the extraction of minerals such as coal.
