Municipal Information
Area: 6,298km²Description: 
City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality is situated in the Gauteng province and City of Tshwane/Pretoria is the capital of South Africa. It has merged with Metsweding District, which was a consequence of the Gauteng global city region strategy to reduce the number of municipalities in Gauteng to at least four by 2016. The new City of Tshwane is now the single-largest metropolitan municipality in the country, comprising of seven regions, 105 wards and 210 councillors. South Africa is the second-largest country to have embassies after Washington DC. Many embassies thus call this city their home. The Union Buildings house the administrative hub for the country and have also been the setting for all the presidential inaugurations of Nelson Mandela, Thabo Mbeki and the incumbent South African president, Jacob Zuma. These sandstone buildings offer beautiful views over the city. Its rich and colourful heritage is reflected in the city's myriad of museums, monuments and historical buildings, and is punctuated by contemporary arts and craft markets, bringing the city alive with a unique blend of new and old. The Science and Technology Museum offers a tactile experience of science at work. The South African mint has a minting press dating back to 1892, which is still in operation. The city also offers township sleepovers with a five-star stay. Church Square and the State Theatre often host international and national performances. There are also two nature reserves where visitors can view wildlife such as buffalo, antelope, cheetah, jackal, giraffe and sable.
