Soshanguve takes its name from a portmanteau of Sotho, Shangaan, Nguni and Venda — the communities the township was established to house from the late 1970s — and has grown into one of the largest residential areas north of Pretoria.
A large, multicultural northern township
Soshanguve’s name itself reflects its founding purpose as a shared residential area for multiple language communities, and that diversity remains part of its identity today. The township has grown extensively over the decades and now includes a campus of the Tshwane University of Technology alongside its residential sections.
