It is one of the country's two capital cities serving as the executive (administrative) and de facto national capital. The other is Cape Town the legislative capital. The Central Business District (CBD) of Pretoria has been the traditional centre of government and commerce although today many corporate offices small businesses shops and government departments are situated in the sprawling suburbs of the city rather than the CBD or in Johannesburg. The city has a population of approximately 1985997 as well as large number of foreign nationals. Pretoria has over the years had very diverse cultural influences and this is reflected in the architectural styles that can be found in the city. The main languages spoken in Pretoria are Pedi Afrikaans Tswana Tsonga Zulu and English. Ndebele and Sotho are also widely spoken. The living class in Pretoria can be classified as middle to high income earners. The living conditions in South Africa are generally very good. Housing and basic commodities are readily available. The country has an abundance of health providers of all sectors. The country's infrastructure and communication facilities are of international standard and are amongst the best in the African continent. However in the last couple of years the electricity generation has been facing challenges and there are scheduled power cuts on a regular basis. Depending on schooling needs some staff opt to live in Johannesburg (approx. 40 min one way from Pretoria). Crime continues to be of concern and has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and power cuts. Burglaries (house break-ins) and carjacking are common and those involved are often armed. ATM fraud is also rampant as well as financial related cyber-crime. Even though the position is based in Pretoria the incumbent is expected to travel on missions to remote locations in the field where the quality of life and working conditions would be challenged alongside with security concerns.
