Potchefstroom

South Africa

Potchefstroom, South Africa shares 118 connections with 1134 other places across 13 topics, with sports accounting for the bulk of those ties. Cricket and rugby run through much of the evidence: the city hosted 2003 Cricket World Cup matches between Australia and Namibia and between South Africa and Kenya, and it trained players who later competed at international level. Pretoria and Cape Town are its most-shared South African co-connected cities. Military history and government connections, rooted in the Second Boer War and the African National Congress, round out the profile.
