It means "the place of gold" -- Gauta, or Khauta (same pronunciation) is gold and in Sesotho, the -eng suffix denotes where something is, or happens. Dijo or Lijo means food, so Dijong or Lijong means restaurant. Motse means village, so Motseng means at the village. Toropo means city, so Toropong means in town. And so on. The "G" or "Kh" of Gauteng/Khauteng is pronounced like the "Kh" of Khomeiny, the "ch" of Loch or of Achtung, the "G" of geld or Vereeniging.
