This refers to the fact that Pretoria serves as South Africa’s administrative capital, and many government head offices are located there. The handshape is F, which makes it a phonological variation from Pretoria 02.In the case of Pretoria there are three lexical variations: one that resembles the sign for GOVERNMENT (Pretoria 01 and Pretoria 02), another which is the sign for SISTER (Pretoria 14), and two initialised variants that differ phonologically from each other (Pretoria 06 and Pretoria 09).
