South Africa is the only country in the world with three official capital cities, a division of power intended to balance regional interests across the nation. Pretoria serves as the administrative capital and is the seat of the executive branch and the President. Cape Town is the legislative capital, where the Parliament is located. Bloemfontein is the judicial capital, home to the Supreme Court of Appeal. This arrangement was a compromise reached during the formation of the Union of South Africa in 1910 between the British and the Boers. Interestingly, the largest city in the country, Johannesburg, is not one of the capitals. South Africa is also the only country in the world to have voluntarily dismantled its own nuclear weapons program and is home to the 'Cradle of Humankind,' a site containing some of the oldest hominid fossils ever discovered.
