In my city, one should be aware of the traffic. Long queues and waiting times are a part of daily life. You should also brace yourself for the load-shedding that occurs frequently. Another thing is to be aware of the crime, which is unfortunately prevalent as it is a capital city with a lot of poverty.

Someone moving to Pretoria should know rental properties are more affordable in Pretoria North and Pretoria West. Pretoria East is deemed as the more affluent and expensive part of town. Another thing to be aware of is that Pretoria, being the capital of South Africa, has a high crime rate.

Pretoria could be considered somewhat ‘schizophrenic’, since there are areas in Pretoria which are quite upmarket and affluent, and perhaps three Kilometers away, one will find a squatter camp/informal settlement. The contrast is quite shocking. However, you will most likely find Pretoria to be quite charming nonetheless.

Pretoria is a city with a colourful history. This is one of the reasons why the president of South Africa resides in the eastern part. Together with his trusted members of parliament, they form a conglomeration of power. This city is the permanent residence of nine million people who have the privilege of watching Jacaranda trees sprout their beautiful purple flowers in spring.
