eMalahleni (previously known as Witbank) is a city situated on the Highveld of Mpumalanga, South Africa, within the Emalahleni Local Municipality.

The city is known for its coal-mining in the surrounding region. .... Learn more at Wikipedia
eMalahleni is located along the railway line linking Pretoria to Maputo and for many years served as the transport gateway to the Mozambiquean port. In recent years, this line has been under frequent threat of collapse due to underground coal fires in disused mines in the area. Two national highways, the N4 from Pretoria and the N12 from Johannesburg, converge at eMalahleni and then continue to Komatipoort, on the border of Mozambique. Together, these routes form the Maputo Corridor, a strategically important alternative to the South African ports of Richards Bay and Durban on the Indian Ocean shores of the country.
