JOHANNESBURG & PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA

During our South African trip, we visited Johannesburg and Pretoria as well. Johannesburg, known as Jo'burg, is the largest city in South Africa and the provincial capital of the country. Pretoria is nearby and is the executive capital of the country. We stayed with our friend, Bhupendra Sarajnarayan, who lives and works in Pretoria. This blog features pictures taken in these two cities.

This is the giant sculpture of Nelson Mandela located at Nelson Mandela Square in Sandton, between Jo'burg and Pretoria.

I was looking pretty tired after having just gotten off the 30 hour train ride.

He entertained us with live music.
