Pretoria is the executive (administrative) capital of South Africa and one of the country's three capitals (alongside Cape Town for legislature and Bloemfontein for judiciary), home to approximately 2.9 million people in the Tshwane metropolitan area. It shares South Africa Standard Time (SAST, UTC+2) with the rest of the country. Pretoria is known as the Jacaranda City — its streets are lined with approximately 70,000 jacaranda trees (an introduced species from South America) that bloom in vivid purple every October–November, creating one of the world's most spectacular urban floral displays. The Union Buildings, designed by Herbert Baker and completed in 1913, are the official seat of the South African government and the venue where Nelson Mandela was inaugurated as President in 1994 — one of the most significant moments in the country's history. Pretoria is also a major university city, home to the University of Pretoria and the CSIR (Council for Scientific and Industrial Research).
