Johannesburg started out when gold was discovered in 1886 and it has developed at a lightening pace since then.
It's other name 'eGoli', means 'City of gold'. Its large gold resources were found in the Witwatersrand area.
Johannesburg is a part of Gauteng, which is responsible for 40% of the country’s GDP, which is pretty amazing when you think about it!
It’s the business hub of the country, and is vibrant and alive, with half of South Africa’s population living here.
It is not too far from Sun City and definately worth a visit if you can get there. There is so much to see and do there. Have a look at my Johannesburg page for further info :)
