Off course it is a Cape, and a beautiful one at that! The first Portuguese seafarers all called it a Cape - "Cabo das Tormentas" which means "Cape of storms".Bartholomeus Dias gave it that name in 1488. Little did he know then how fitting that name would prove to be. Several years later on his next trip to the far east, he called at South America. From there he aimed at passing the Cape of Good Hope to India.A terrific storm sunk the entire little fleet, and Dias disappeared under the waves south of his Cape of Storms.

What is an executive capital city?
South Africa has three National capital cities and many Provincial capitals as well. The National legislative capital, Cape Town, is where the parliament is, and is where the laws are drawn up. The National Judicial capital, Bloemfontein, is where the Supreme Court of Appeal sits, and it is where the laws are interpreted. The Constitutional Court, which is a new court senior to the Court of Appeal sits in Johannesburg, which does not have capital status. The National Executive capital, Pretoria, is where the state officials have their headquarters, and it is from Pretoria that the country is run. This rather unusual arrangement of three capitals is due to the arrangements made when South Africa was put together from four separate and independent countries. The four countries united into the then 'Union of South Africa' were Transvaal Republic, Orange Free State, Cape Colony and Colony of Natal. Three of the four countries each got a capital. Colony of Natal missed out for some reason, probably because the British already had a capital in the Cape Colony

Why people move to cape town?
Cape Town was first sighted in 1497 by Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gamma.It was however uninhabited by colonists until 1652; a number local nomadic indigenous people (like the "Strandloopers" - Khoikhoi "Beachwalkers") lived in the region.1652 was the year that the Dutch explorer Jan van Riebeeck was sent to Cape Town by the Dutch East India Company to start a goods refreshment station (fresh water, food and fruit) for ships en route to India. During these early years of sea travel many sailors died of scurvy and other disorders related to malnutrition on route to the east. The primary objective was to supply ships owned by the company and reinforce their supply routes to the East.Dutch settlers were the first Europeans to settle at the Cape, but growth was slow at that time as it was hard to get labour. This prompted the import of slaves from Indonesia, Malaysia and Madagascar with many of those slaves being the ancestors of Cape Town's coloured population.During the French Revolution, the Netherlands was occupied by France, and Britain captured many Dutch colonies across the world. Cape Town swapped hands many times until 1814 when it formally became part of the British Cape Colony. The population of the Cape was also bolstered at the time by European (French Huguenots) settlers moving to avoid religious persecutionWhen the original settlers got tired of British rule they trekked inland (The Great Trek). There was a lot of growth during the 1800's. The discovery of diamonds and gold in South Africa fueled an influx of immigrants. Conflict over land between the ancestors of the original settlers (the "Boers" - Afrikaans Farmers) and the British led to the Anglo-Boer wars.Today people move to Cape Town for leisure. It is a major tourist destination due to its rich wildlife and botanical beauty.
