In South Africa, there lies a town,
Witbank, where coal is found.
On the Highveld, it proudly stands,
With Emalahleni in its hands.
The name Witbank, so unique,
Means "white ridge," let's take a peek.
A sandstone outcrop, pure and bright,
Where wagons rested day and night.
Coal-mining is the city's claim to fame,
In the region, it's not just a game.
From deep within the earth they go,
To bring the coal up, row by row.
Founded in 1890, Witbank's birth,
A place where coal holds so much worth.
But in 2006, a change took place,
Emalahleni, a new name to embrace.
Emalahleni, meaning "place of coal,"
A name that matches the city's role.
Witbank and Emalahleni, side by side,
A city of coal, with history to guide.
