Pietermaritzburg is the capital and second largest city of the province of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. Witbank is situated on the Highveld of Mpumalanga, South Africa, within the Emalahleni Local Municipality. This reduced the number of venues from 14 to 9. The reasons cited for this change were to do with facilities for both the press and spectators, and security. The change in the itinerary occurred in January of 1994. Further changes occurred in April, so that evening games were played at stadiums with good floodlighting. It is also thought that Potchefstroom was an original venue. Potchefstroom is an Academic city hosting the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University (previously known as Potchefstroom University
