Taking #TshwaneGlobal
Capital City
Founded in 1855, Pretoria is the heartthrob of the City of Tshwane Metropolitan which, collectively, forms Northern Gauteng.
Tshwane generates ±10% of South Africa's GDP and has a population of ±3 million. The key economic drivers are finance, trade, government and manufacturing. Pretoria is also known as the Jacaranda City, given the showers of purple in spring.
Excellence
Tshwane is renowned for its centres of excellence in science, innovation, tourism, education, arts and culture.
The Capital City is home to the Union Buildings, forming the seat of the South African Government and housing the offices of the President of South Africa. The City is internationally well connected via 135 embassies and high commissions.
Prospective
Tshwane has great potential for investment in manufacturing considering the already existing but vacant infrastructure.
South Africa is a member of BRICS, a powerful drive by the world’s leading emerging market economies i.e. Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Our climate is subtropical with long hot rainy summers and, short, mild winters.
