Formerly known as Pietersburg, Polokwane is the capital of Limpopo. Besides being one of the host cities during the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the city is the hometown of prominent South Africans such as Julius Malema (leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters and former ANC Youth League president), Caster Semenya (middle-distance runner and world champion), and Marthinus van Schalkwyk (former Minister of Tourism in the Cabinet of South Africa).
