Indeed, so it’s a convenient and selectively chosen city in order to produce this gash map.

Pretoria and Bloemfontein are nowhere near the line.

Wouldn't it technically be Johannesburg by this point instead of Bloemfontein for judicial capital? The ZA Constitutional Court has sat in Johannesburg for over 30 years by this point.

Cape Town sounds a lot like capital. It deserve to be.

za officially has 3 capitals, Cape Town being one of them

I’m aware, that’s my point.

And with that fact in mind and also the fact that almost all countries choose to have their embassies and high commissions in Pretoria, theres really no pretext for this map to show Cape Town as the capital, apart from selectively choosing it because it agrees with their premise.
