Hello. After playing as the Voortrekkers twice recently, one with colonial railroading and one without, I've come across areas for improvement.
One, Zoutpansberg shouldn't be Non-Western, and they don't seem to unite with Transvaal like they used to.
Two, Johannesburg province should be called Potchefstroom until it's founding in 1886.
Three, Pretoria province should perhaps be named after one of the Boer farms in the area like Zwartkop or Doornkloof until it's founding in 1855. Though this may not be necessary.
Four, Natalia doesn't seem to spawn in anymore, though maybe this is intentional. IRL it did exist from 1839 to 1843, they even allied with the Zulu in 1840 when they helped a faction win in a Zulu civil war
Five, upon winning the Boer War, the new provinces added to Natal like Durban don't get transferred, also Dithakong province in the Northern Cape doesn't. It would avoid border gore if they did, maybe Walvis Bay and the Penguin Islands too if Transvaal already colonised the rest of Namibia.
Six, after forming South Africa and choosing your capital, the option for Pretoria makes the capital Johannesburg, option for Pietermaritzburg picks Durban, option for Klerksdorp picks Bloemhof.
Seven, the 'Purifying South Africa' event has an option that is non-functional, the top one that gives 5 infamy. Not sure I should have got this event as I had the Native re-integration modifier from the early game.
Eight, Pretoria should replace Potchefstroom as the capital in 1860.
Overall I am happy with much of what has been done, many of the added provinces are a welcome addition. Great that South Africa can get a lot of immigration after uniting, definitely makes the late game much more fun.

Note to point four, in a playthrough as the US Natalia did spawn in, before Britain annexed them a decade later. Though the Cape Colony did not get a core on Durban. Also Pietermaritzburg should be Natalia's capital not Durban.
