Never knew Gauteng was located next to an ocean or a very big lake (never to old to learn something new), fnck even the logo looks very trumphis. The closest I could find on the map is EL (which might be East London, but is still far from GP). They were even to fnking lazy to get a proper map image. God forbid, I press this button and the app says I am in the states and gets ICE to sort me out
