Pretoria

Pretoria is in 1855 gestig en is vernoem na Andries Pretorius, 'n Voortrekker-leier. Die stad was die hoofstad van die Suid-Afrikaansche Republiek vanaf 1860 tot 1910. Administratiewe hoofstad van die Unie van Suid-Afrika vanaf 1910 tot 1961, en van die Republiek van Suid-Afrika vanaf 1961. Pretoria is geleë in die oorgangs gebied tussen die Hoëveld en Die Bosveld, ongeveer 50 km noord van Johannesburg. Dit lê in 'n warm, goed beskutte, vrugbare vallei, omring deur die heuwels van die Magaliesberg-reeks.

Pretoria is een van Suid-Afrika se voorste akademiese stede, en dit is die tuiste van beide die Universiteit van Pretoria en UNISA, die Universiteit van Suid-Afrika. Die uitsig oor die hele stad vanaf 'n heuwel is die pragtige Uniegeboue, gebou in 'n goue klip met Italiaanse betegelde dakke. Paaie van pers blom-jacaranda-bome is wyd genoeg om 'n span osse te draai. Dit is hoekom Pretoria bekend staan ​​as die Jacaranda-stad. Pretoria is 'n belangrike industriële sentrum, met swaar nywerhede soos yster- en staalgietwerk, sowel as motor-, spoorweg- en masjinerie-vervaardiging. Die stad het 'n aantal wetenskaplike instellings en 'n oorvloed van oop ruimtes met parke, voëlreservate, natuurreservate en 'n dieretuin.
