The Capital District of Gauteng (Capital District, Gauteng or CDG) is the capital territory of the Southern African Confederacy. It was formed from part of the old Transvaal Province after South Africa's first all-race elections on 27 April 1994. It was initially named Pretoria-Witwatersrand-Vereeniging (or PWV) and was renamed 'Capital District of Gauteng' in December 1994. The area had always been one large megalopolis, with Pretoria, Johannesburg and Vereeniging basically being one continuous urban region. The CDG is a combined city-territory.
