Capital: Mafikeng / Mmabatho

Cities/Towns in the Central Region: Coligny, Delareyville, Groot Marico, Lichtenburg, Nietverdiend, Madikwe, Ottosdal, Rooigrond, Sannieshof, Zeerust.

Bordering Botswana, the Central Region is home to the capital of the province Mafikeng. Aptly named, the capital's slogan is 'The City of Goodwill'. It is a rapidly growing, modern residential, administrative and commercial town that contrasts with its fascinating history. The Central Region is an area fairly flat and dry in the west, becoming bushveld towards the east. The region offers game viewing - Big Five, bird watching, hunting and fishing, sport, hospitality, conference facilities, shopping, gaming, Anglo-Boer War sites and a number of excellent guesthouses and guest farms.
