As temperatures start to rise to welcome summer, it's time to kick off those electric blankets for some fun at the iconic Time Square in Menlyn, Pretoria.
Love Your City
I Love My City
The Jacaranda City - our heart, our home
When looking at other cities across South Africa, Pretoria is not the oldest by far, yet it holds a very significant place in history and in every Pretorian’s heart.
Since the city’s inception in 1855, a lot has changed. The streets have over the years played witness to political issues, festivals, marches, love stories and personal stories.
Sigh.
If only the Jacaranda trees could talk.
Established by the then Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (ZAR) to serve as a central location, Pretoria was chosen for its abundance of water and centralised location.
