History of Schools in Pretoria North
The first school in the area was established in 1890 by Theodore Erasmus at his farm "Wesfontein". In 1895 Jan Booysen established a school on the east side of the Apies River in Pretoria. Since 1904 the English Anglican Church in General Beyers Street has been used as a school. The first classrooms of the Pretoria North Parallel Medium School (Primary Danie Malan today) were founded on 20 May 1909.[2]
