You know, I've often wondered why people bother with the old "google" response...it would have taken less effort to just remain silent. I am aware that I can "google it" - I am asking here for a reason. ;)

The four you must be thinking of would be... hmm, lemme see if I can remember this right...

Pretoria/Witwaterstrand/Verwoerd (P.W.V.) which is now Gauteng

Northeastern Province which is now Mpumalanga

Oranje Frystaat which is now, IIRC, just "Free State"

Natal, which is now Kwa-Zulu Natal

I might be a tad off, but I am pretty sure about the first two being right.
