Names and historyFounded around 1905 by the British Army, and called Roberts Heights[3] after Lord Roberts. The area was subsequently renamed Voortrekkerhoogte ("Voortrekker Heights") in 1939 by the government of the Union of South Africa, following the beginning of the building of the nearby Voortrekker Monument, at a time of growing Afrikaner nationalism. On the 19 May 1998, following the end of apartheid, it was renamed again, getting the name Thaba Tshwane.[4] Thaba Tshwane should not be confused with the much larger City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality, that was created in 2000, which includes Pretoria (including Thaba Tshwane).
