(Capital)^3

while reading about 94 yr old Nelson Mandela being admitted to a hospital in "capital" Pretoria and subsequently his situation not being alarming, i was like, wait... isn't Cape Town the capital of South Africa?
Well, turns out that i did not know enough about the prominent African nation.
Where Johannesburg is the largest city in the country, South Africa has three capitals, as follows:
Legislative - Cape Town Executive - Pretoria Judicial - Bloemfontein
i guess that goes a long way in settling "capital" disputes?
From a Yahoo! Answer:
"The 3 national capitals are: Pretoria (Administrative), Bloemfontein (Judicial) and Cape Town (Legialative). To find the reason for the three capitals, one must look at tyhe negotiations that took place with the formation of the Union of South Africa in 1910. Two Boere republics (The Orange Free State and Transvaal) and two Brittish Colonies were combined under the Union Jack to form the Union of South Africa. In order to placate the BOERE, it was suggested that the two capitals from the Boere Republic be kept, with Cape Town as Capitals."
