a blog, by Colin Pretorius
There's nothing like a greasy Wimpy dagwood for breakfast. Up at sparrow fart again to take Ronwen through to the Transvaal Museum in Pretoria where she's doing a fossil preparation workshop today. Now to get back to work...
I also noticed for the first time that after all the talk and PR, the city of Pretoria has finally been renamed to Tshwane. Ch-ch-ch-changes...

The city is still called Pretoria, the Metro area has been Tshwane for a couple of years.

The official government city website is www.tshwane.gov.za.
It proudly states "Welcome to the city of Tshwane".

The City of Tshwane municipality includes Pretoria, Centurion, and Akasia. Pretoria is part of Tshwane, but it hasn't been renamed. There was a proposal to this last year, but a huge outcry from the residents caused the name-change to be put on hold (probably until the next local elections).

Ah, OK, thanks. I'd seen a couple of 'City of Tshwane' signs on dumpsters and the like and took that to mean that the name had officially changed. The whole city/metro thing still gets me confuzzled, but the current set-up is probably a reasonable way to keep everyone happy. For now.
