South Africa Provinces Quiz — Rules & What Counts
South Africa has 9 provinces. This quiz shows a blank map of South Africa. You type the name of each province, and the map colors that province in place.
How to play
Type names in any order. A correct name colors the province on the map at once.
You can start to type right away. You do not need to click the answer box first.
"KZN" and "Natal" both count for KwaZulu-Natal.
A timer tracks your run. The quiz saves your best score and best time.
If you are stuck, use the give up button. The map then shows the provinces you missed.
What counts in this quiz
The 9 provinces of South Africa.
What's not included — and why
Cities are not answers. Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban do not score — Gauteng, the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal do.
Lesotho and Eswatini are separate countries, not provinces.
Good to know
The 9 provinces date from 1994. They replaced the four provinces of the apartheid era.
Gauteng is the smallest province, and it has the most people.
The Northern Cape is the largest province, and it has the fewest people.
South Africa has three capitals in three provinces: Pretoria, Cape Town and Bloemfontein.
