MAJOR CITIES OF SOUTH AFRICA
South Africa has three capital cities, the legislative capital being Cape Town (right). The city is known as South Africa 's "Mother City" and is also home to Parliament. The administrative capital is Pretoria and the judicial capital is Bloemfontein.
The country's largest city is Johannesburg - South Africa 's powerhouse and business capital. Begun as a settlement near the newly-discovered Witwatersrand gold reef in the "Gold Rush" of the late 1800's, Johannesburg is today an incredibly young, vibrant and sprawling metropolis.

As one moves northwards up the East coast, one is greeted by the coastal cities of Port Elizabeth and East London. Both are steeped in early British settler history and retain much of their historical charm today. On the KwaZulu-Natal coast lies Durban (pictured left), South Africa's largest port and third largest city.
Kimberley, home of De Beers, is the most important town in the Northern Cape, due to the discovery of diamonds there in 1867. The 'Big Hole', once the largest open diamond digging in the world, is now a great tourist attraction!
