Gauteng 01
- Title
- Gauteng 01
- Description
- Gauteng 01 is an initialised-descriptive sign. The sign starts with both hands in the handshape S with the fists atop each other, but this is similar to the British Sign Language alphabet letter G. The dominant hand then moves into the S1 SASL handshape (finger extended) with an upward motion. This mimics the landmark tall Telkom Joburg Tower (also known as the Hillbrow Tower), which was until 2021 the tallest tower in Africa. This variant is a morphological variation from Gauteng 03.
