<P> During the past 20 million years , further massive upliftment , especially in the East , has taken place in Southern Africa . As a result , most of the plateau lies above 1,000 m ( 3,300 ft ) despite the extensive erosion . The plateau is tilted such that its highest point is in the east , and it slopes gently downwards towards the west and south . The elevation of the edge of the eastern escarpments is typically in excess of 2,000 m ( 6,600 ft ) . It reaches its highest point ( over 3,000 m ( 9,800 ft ) ) where the escarpment forms part of the international border between Lesotho and the South African province of KwaZulu - Natal . </P>
