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
