Which one of the following cities is the seat of Parliament of South Africa ?
Explanation
South Africa divides government functions among three cities; the legislative branch (Parliament) sits in Cape Town. Contemporary sources note that the branches are split with Cape Town serving as the legislative capital while Pretoria is the administrative capital and Bloemfontein the judicial capital [1]. The Houses of Parliament in Cape Town are explicitly described as the seat of South Africa’s national legislature, housing both houses and associated parliamentary chambers and offices, confirming Cape Town as the official location where laws are debated and passed [2]. Therefore, among the options given, Cape Town is the seat of Parliament of South Africa.
