Pretoria was founded in 1855 by Marthinus Pretorius. The administrative capital of South Africa, Pretoria, or the ‘Jacaranda City’ is best known for its annual display of purple flowers in October. It is located in the northern part of Gauteng. It has a reputation as a centre of research and academic city, being home to the Human Sciences Research Council, Tshwane University of Technology (TUT), the University of South Africa (UNISA), the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), and the University of Pretoria (UP).
Pretoria is one of South Africa’s three capital cities, serving as the executive branch of government and as the host to all foreign embassies to South Africa. Pretoria is the central part of the Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality, which was formed by the amalgamation of several former local authorities. Pretoria is a city of nature, history, and political importance.
