I went to Johannesburg/Pretoria on an official trip.

Johannesburg and Pretoria share the common airport at Johannesburg. Johannesburg is bigger among the two. The distance between the two cities is about 50-55 kilometres and takes 45-55 minutes by road. Pretoria has the seat of government and all principal diplomatic missions are located there.
