And since when is Johannesburg a capital? I tried Bloemfontein, Pretoria and Capetown which are the 3 capitals of South Africa...

Er, since never, he said sheepishly. Quiz updated. Have added executive capitals only to the instructions, but if you included judicial as well then Bloemfontein would also make the list. Cape Town is out of range, regardless.
