## About this plate

GAUTENG, two letters + two figures + two letters + GP. THE PERIOD IS THE WEAK CLAIM AND IT IS THE ONLY REASON THIS SERIES IS NOT FULLY PRIMARY. The FORMAT is primary twice over (reg 27(2)(a)(ii)(bb), and GG 37542 GN 287 reproducing it) and could not have been issued before 27 May 2009, the day GNR.589 inserted limb (bb), that is the hard lower bound. The 2023 start is Wikipedia-derived: the Gauteng notice under reg 27(4) establishing the new system was not located, and no Gauteng provincial gazette index with full-text search was reachable.
