South Africa is a big and diverse country which can often be quite tough to region guess even with a good amount of practice.
A lot of areas have very similar vibes and whenever you think you finally figured out a system there's that one round that ends
up a thousand kilometres away on the other side of the country. And even metas always seemed a bit random and noone
really looked into that too much ever. So I decided to change that and this sheet is the result of hours of research which will
hopefully help you get better at this beautiful country.

There are nine provinces and I tried to find specific stuff for them. I quickly had to realize though that hardly anything shows
respect to a border. Some metas are very common in one province but they are mostly less common or at least near the border
in neighbouring provinces as well. So most metas are rather a hint to a region than a province. Also ZA is not very consistent
with stuff, I'd say never expect any meta to be 100% (even though some probably are).

I mostly looked at stuff on and around rural intersections. But I also had a look at most of the biggest cities to find some specific
things for them as well (found in "Urban"). Don't hesitate to send me potential metas you found or researched and I'll gladly
add them here. Thanks to everyone who has helped with this already :)
