Tshwane

The booming heart of South Africa

Jacaranda city, The Capital, Snor City - three of many names that have been attributed to the stunning and adored city of Tshwane. It is one of the country’s three capital cities and serves as the executive administrative capital - impressive!

Tshwane has come into its own over the past years, thriving as a hub for arts, culture, extraordinary dining experiences, spectacular schools and theatres. From The North to the South there is no lack of experiences in the beating heart of South Africa. It may not have the coast but it makes up for it in millions of other ways.

It was recently voted as the ultimate city to live in according to the Gauteng City-Region Observatory Survey which has measured the quality of life of all municipalities across the province. This survey is based on in-depth studies that takes numerous factors like food security, availability of health services, education, quality of housing, household services and perceptions about safety into account. Based on the findings Tshwane is deemed as the city with the highest quality of life. That is certainly something to take note of. This city is setting standards and taking names.

There is no wondering why it has been given this esteemed title - The Ultimate City To Live In, as Tshwane is now the fastest growing metropolitan economy in South Africa, according to the Global Metro Monitor, a report by the Brookings Metropolitan Program. Tshwane is drawing people from all corners of life to reside together and enjoy the benefits of good infrastructure, job opportunities, great schools & higher education institutions, malls, medical care facilities, nature and culture.

Kobus Du Plessis, Director of Huizemark Pretoria, says Tshwane is attracting a lot of first-time home buyers due to all the new residential developments that are mushrooming throughout the city. These new developments are giving rise to a surplus of stock and Huizemark Pretoria also specializes in the new property development market, finding the perfect house for home seekers in this striking city. Tshwane is a nucleus for all ages, it caters for outdoor junkies, arts and culture and has one of the largest concentration of shopping malls in the country. The weather is also a contributor with long hot rainy summers and short, cool, dry winters. Fantastic year-round weather.

There is no shortage when it comes to unique architectural design with a variety of influences such as Menlyn Maine, Time Square Casino, the Union Buildings, historic buildings at Church Square, the Voortrekker Monument and South Africa’s first and only clear water lagoon that resembles a beach. It attributes a strong sense of history and  modernism at the same time - best of both worlds. Another famous characteristic is the abundant Jacaranda trees that adorn the streets of Tshwane during Spring and Summer months, with purple blossoms covering the streets, filling the air with a sweet scent.

The annual arrival of the purple blooms are welcomed on the campus of The University of Pretoria. It is said that when a blossom falls on your head, you will pass all your exams. Talking about universities, the city is one of South Africa’s leading academic cities and boasts with the largest residential university in South Africa, the largest distance education university in South Africa and a research intensive university.

Not only is the commercial market bursting with opportunities creating more jobs in the city, it is also a place to enjoy nature and explore the outdoors. Some of the country’s best golf courses and mountain bike trails are situated in the city, and with nature reserves like Groenkloof, Rietvlei, Faerie Glen, Moreleta Spruit and Wonderboom to name a few, there is no shortage for hiking, picnics or animal spotting.

Tshwane is vibrant, busy and calm at the same time, and just overall smashing all other cities as a hive of exuberant lifestyles, opportunities and high quality of life.
