She was refit twice in the mid 1960s, with modifications externally to her masts and internally with the addition of air conditioning and added private bathrooms. In January 1966, she was sold to South African shipping company Safmarine via its British subsidiary and renamed S.A. Oranje, though she continued in Union Castle service and was manned by that company's crew until 1969, when Safmarine took full control and she was registered in South Africa. She made her last revenue run in September 1975 after fuel oil prices rose sharply in the preceding years, and sailed for scrapping in Taiwan in November. Pretoria Castle measured 28,705 gross register tons, and was 747 feet (228 m) long with a beam of 84 feet (26 m). She was powered by steam turbines, which drove twin propellers that gave her a service speed of 22 knots (25 mph). She had a passenger capacity of 755—214 in first class and 541 in tourist class—and a crew of 400.
