About Tshwane / Gauteng
Welcome to Tshwane:
the Heartbeat of South Africa
It is young, modern and sassy – it is Tshwane, South
Africa’s capital city.
It is in Tshwane that astrophysicists conduct research
hand-in-hand with NASA; that musicians and artists draw
their inspiration; that researchers set the pace in science
and technology; that medical breakthroughs are made;
and that athletes from all over the world travel to hone
their skills ahead of international competitions.
Yet, it’s a city that has also retained its diverse cultural and
historic roots.
It is in Tshwane that you begin to understand what it
means to be a modern South African – it is a cosmopolitan
city, yet one with a laid-back and friendly vibe; an urban
hub surrounded by vast tracts of farmlands and nature.
