Pretoria
Pretoria, South Africa’s legislative capital, was founded in 1855 by Marthinus Pretorius, one of the leaders of the Afrikaner groups involved in what is called the Great Trek.
Pretorius named the city after his family name and in honor of his father, Andries. Throughout its 165-year history, Pretoria has been groomed to be the seat of a South African government.
