Johannesburg
The largest city in South Africa, Johannesburg has the largest economy in Sub-Saharan Africa and is the heart of the country’s mining, commercial, industrial and financial activities. The city skyline contains some of the most impressive skyscrapers on the whole of the continent and is home to a number of major international companies including BHP Billiton, IBM, Standard Bank and First National Bank.
The location
Unlike most of the world’s major cities Johannesburg is not located on a coastline, river or lake. It is the provincial capital of Guateng, the wealthiest province on South Africa. The city benefits from a largely sunny climate and an abundance of parks and gardens makes it one of ‘greenest’ cities in the world.
