(Translation from Afrikaans, Pretoria-The Capital)
Pretoria:
The imposing Voortrekker Monument with a glimpse of the well-known Union Buildings framed by lilac jacarandas.

Pretoria is the administrative capital of South Africa. It is one of the country's three capital cities, serving as the seat of the administrative branch of government.
Pretoria is named after the Voortrekker leader Andries Pretorius, and within South Africa it is sometimes called the "Jacaranda City" due to the thousands of jacaranda trees planted in its streets, parks and gardens.
