This is South Africa’s largest and most powerful urban centre: a city of business, migration, music, struggle, creativity, and extraordinary human stories. It was born from the gold rush of 1886, when the discovery of gold transformed open land into the famous City of Gold. Gold became the backbone of Johannesburg’s rapid growth, shaping its suburbs, industries, and identity.
Johannesburg is inspiring, but it is also a city where you should be vigilant. I would advise you
keep car doors locked, windows up when appropriate, valuables out of sight, and phones or cameras secure. Avoid wandering alone, especially in quiet streets or after dark.Come, let us get going.
