About Johannesburg
Johannesburg, also known as eGoli which means place of gold, is the largest and most populous city in South Africa. The city is affectionately known as Jo'burg, Joeys Jozi and JHB by South Africans.
A city of astonishing contrasts, a huge metropolis where opulent wealth and desperate poverty live side by side, Johannesburg is the intriguing, dynamic heart of this turbulent country.
Johannesburg is the economic powerhouse of Africa with its ever-growing suburban sprawl creeping outwards from the central city skyscrapers and ring-road motorways. Johannesburg is the source of a large-scale gold and diamond trade, due to its location on the mineral-rich Witwatersrand range of hills.
Most visitors to South Africa, particularly those intent on exploring the game reserves of Mpumalanga, arrive at Johannesburg's busy International Airport, which is the main point of entry for the country.
