South Africa is also legally pretty vague about its capitals. There is no law that says Pretoria is the executive capital, or that Bloemfontein is the judicial capital. There is a law that says Cape Town is the seat of parliament, without using the word “capital”.

I wouldn't want my Capital city to have the name Bern either.

It has no official backbone either.

But When's that ever been relevant.
