Pretoria
The quiet city of Pretoria, with its jacaranda-lined streets, was formerly the capital of the old Boer republic of the Transvaal. It was occupied by British forces in June 1900, during the Anglo-Boer War. When the different parts of South Africa came together to form the Union in 1910, Pretoria became the administrative capital, a role it retains in the 'New' South Africa.
