When Saigon fell, that was the end of South Vietnam. It ceased to exist as a country. Although South Viet Nam is no longer a country and thus doesn't have a capital, the city was renamed Ho Chi Minh City by the communists. However, most overseas Vietnamese people still refer to the city as Sai Gon.
