More About Pretoria:

The union buildings are the official seat of power and it’s where all new presidents are sworn into office. It was built in 1913 and designed by architect Sir Herbert Baker. What’s really interesting about the famous building is that at the time of completion it was the biggest building in the whole of South Africa! CLHG_2
