An official committee on 2005-05-26 approved changing the name (in official use) of Pretoria to Tshwane, which is already the name of the enclosing Metropolitan Municipality http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4584211.stm but this change has not been approved yet by the central government - there is also so far no attempt to deregister the name Pretoria.
