Johannesburg is the largest city in South Africa and is one of the 50 largest urban areas in the world. It is the provincial capital and largest city in Gauteng, which is the wealthiest province in South Africa.
While Johannesburg is not one of South Africa's three capital cities, it is the seat of the Constitutional Court. The city is located in the mineral-rich Witwatersrand range of hills and is the centre of large-scale gold and diamond trade.

ReplyDeleteThe shot of the building of the Carlton Center brings back memories travelling in the bus from Malvern past the Rand Daily Mail offices in Main street on my way to work. That was one mighty construction taking place with 5 or 6 storey's below ground. And today one wonders if it is being used for anything in our new South Africa.
ReplyDeleteThat carlton centre bldg is a dilapidated building housing vagrants and drug peddlers today typical of our NEW south africa
