Looks similar to a Jacaranda. Native to Australia. Widely planted in Africa. Flowers once (sometimes twice) per year.
I'd need to see the leaves to confirm.

@Petter Similar but not 
@Petter Jacaranda is Native to South America. They grow all over Gauteng in South Africa too, predominantly in Johannesburg and Pretoria.
@TimeOutForMe And Kenya.

Not a jacaranda. Jacaranda grow all over in Pretoria and Johannesburg. It is much more purple.
@TimeOutForMe yes, and Brisbane, Australia. But they came from S. Africa originally I believe
@girlwithsmiles of you seen those trees here this time of year, lining the pavements and streets with purple, you'll think its indigenous to South Africa.
...but it's actually indigenous to South America, or so I read
This is one of my irises 
Pretty. I’ve seen these purple-flowering trees here in North Carolina and also don’t know what they are.
