Pretoria, in the City of Tshwane, is South Africa’s administrative capital. National government departments, the Union Buildings, foreign embassies and research institutions such as the CSIR are all here, along with automotive manufacturing in Rosslyn.
The city is also one of the country’s great education centres. The University of Pretoria and Tshwane University of Technology are based here, and UNISA, Africa’s largest distance-learning university, has its main campus in Muckleneuk. Online learning is not a new idea in Pretoria; it is part of how the city studies.
