Editing Pretoria (section)

===Ethnic groups===
Even since the end of Apartheid, Pretoria itself has had a white majority, albeit with an ever-increasing black middle-class. However, in the townships of [[Mamelodi]], [[Soshanguve]] and [[Atteridgeville]] black people make up close to all of the population. The largest white ethnic group are the [[Afrikaners]] and the largest black ethnic group are the [[Northern Sotho people|Northern Sotho]]s.

The lower estimate for the population of Pretoria includes largely former white-designated areas, and there is therefore a white majority. However, including the geographically separate townships increases Pretoria's population beyond a million and makes whites a minority.

Pretoria's [[Indian South Africans|Indians]] were ordered to move from Pretoria to [[Laudium]] on 6 June 1958.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sahistory.org.za/dated-event/transfer-indian-community-pretoria-laudium-ordered |title=Transfer of the Indian community of Pretoria to Laudium ordered. |last=tinashe |date=1 June 2012 |access-date=18 September 2014 |archive-date=2 April 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402132136/http://www.sahistory.org.za/dated-event/transfer-indian-community-pretoria-laudium-ordered |url-status=live}}</ref>
