- Sunday morning drive around downtown Johannesburg from my recent visit.
Johannesburg, informally known as Jozi, Joburg, or "The City of Gold", is the largest city in South Africa, classified as a megacity, and is one of the 100 largest urban areas in the world. According to Demographia, the Johannesburg-Pretoria urban area (combined because of strong transport links that make commuting feasible) is the 26th-largest in the world, with 14,167,000 inhabitants. It is the provincial capital and largest city of Gauteng, which is the wealthiest province in South Africa. Johannesburg is the seat of the Constitutional Court, the highest court in South Africa. Most of the major South African companies and banks have their head offices in Johannesburg. The city is located in the mineral-rich Witwatersrand range of hills and is the centre of large-scale gold and diamond trade. It was one of the host cities of the official tournament of the 2010 FIFA World Cup - and it hosted the final.
The city was established in 1886 following the discovery of gold on what had been a farm. Due to the extremely large gold deposit found along the Witwatersrand, within ten years, the population had grown to 100,000 inhabitants.
A separate city from the late 1970s until 1994, Soweto is now part of Johannesburg. Originally an acronym for "South-Western Townships", Soweto originated as a collection of settlements on the outskirts of Johannesburg, populated mostly by native African workers from the gold mining industry.
The metropolis is an alpha global city as listed by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network. In 2019, the population of the city of Johannesburg was 5,635,127, making it the most populous city in South Africa. In the same year, the population of Johannesburg's urban agglomeration was put at 8,000,000. Land area of the municipal city (1,645 km2 or 635 sq mi) is large in comparison with those of other major cities, resulting in a moderate population density of 2,364 per square kilometre (6,120/sq mi).

It's official you're a big fan our city, which is a big compliment given the problems we have and all the negative things that has been written about our city , it's so good to see someone, who sees the pontential even more so if it's someone like you, who has seen almost the whole world, because of you i know almost all the US cities even though i have never been there and looking at JHB's skyline is exactly like those US cities, it's just we have lack in taking care of the city because of social problems we have in South Africa as a whole and also the government who has not done a good job, once again thank you, for seeing a glass half full instead of the other way round!!
I can tell that people who built this city were very serious, they didn't play. They built a huge, rigid, solid city. This city is unshakable. I watched the whole video. I saw a lot of positivity of this city. Dirt and renovations can be fixed so easily, because the foundations of these infrastructures are solid. Love joburg, no matter what.
South Africa has so much potential but they have to find a way to get people employed and out of poverty. No country can exist peacefully with as much inequality as they have and the people don’t deserve to suffer due to a lack of opportunities.
back in the days when everyone had a job of course, back before the 1990s. It's incredible how much poverty there is and unemployment in South Africa, more than anywhere else in the world. There were jobs before when the Rand was equal to the Dollar, but the problem was that it was also a very segregated place. Now everyone is free to go anywhere but the problem is they don't have the money!
They were serious because there was gold underneath, they did not just build it for the sake of having capital.
@NGMN Of course, it was the largest gold producer in the world
Wow, it kinda even look like New York where you're driving!!
I love South Africa
It is seen that there are many areas for rent, but it is also seen that there are very abandoned parts and many people living on the street
Very nice driving tour at Johannesburg liked! Greetings from Rio de Janeiro Brazil 😍👍
i'll be part of the notification squad for this one !!!
i am happy this video just arrived on point !
I am back from an exhausting trip from Togo to Nigeria on the bike,

I just love road, and for sure I am happy to drive with you in Africa once more !
keep doing the efforts you are doing !
cheers from Lagos man
I can't wait for Togo to Nigeria video
I watch all your videos of Lagos and other parts of Nigeria
Johannesburg City is the Best in South Africa with many great skyscrapers, hotels, restaurants,banks, malls, etc. 2022!
Very interesting as always! Thanks for sharing with us 👍
This is perfection. Really into it. Thank you so much for making it! : )
Great job . Thank you
Hello from Poland 🙂🖐
Thank you for all that your country is doing for the Ukrainian people.
Very interesting to travel with you always! Really appreciate your journeys! Awesome and amazing and completely immersive journey! So happy always to move around the world with you! Thanks Utah!
Wow fantastic city tour I enjoyed it a lot
I'd always heard that Jo'burg was like Detroit or South Central L.A. Interesting to be able to get a good look at it
Very interesting to travel with you always!
excellent driving video. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️
Me impresiona mucho esta ciudad, me recuerda a Estados Unidos de los 80's, Johannesburgo es una muestra de que no toda África está sumida en la pobreza extrema y que Sudáfrica es uno de los países más desarrollados de su continente. Espero algún día visitar Sudáfrica. Saludos de 🇲🇽
Hasta metro bus tienen
Excellent keep moving and keep sharing ❤️👍
The old CBD is being reclaimed one block at a time
That’s great. Love to see more nice walkable places in South Africa. Hopefully they create more jobs for those without them now.
I’m looking forward to seeing it being fixed. I wish I could get involved in projects that will help rebuild the city.
This video makes me want to go and thank my local trash collectors
Blessed i had the chance to visit 3 times in my life 🙌🏽
Que hermosa e imponente ciudad, como también lo es Ciudad del Cabo la más desarrollada de toda África...y en su momento Johannesburgo lo fue, por desgracia una gran parte de su downtown se lleno de malvivientes, lleno de basura y descuidado, pero logró ver que las autoridades nuevamente lo están recuperando, ojalá Johannesburgo vuelva a ser esa bella ciudad que su momento era el Nueva York de África, moderna y cosmopolita.
Nice work 👏 👌 👍
Can clearly see here that this part of town has fallen increasingly into disrepair and no longer has the same attraction it may once have had years ago.
The private sector left the old city for new cities that are being built around Johannesburg peripheries that is why most buildings lie abandoned and shops closed. It’s a sad reality. Hopefully the private sector comes back and invests in theold CBD in the near future.
There are no jobs. If there were any, everything would be properly maintained.
Because due to ANC corruption
I never knew this city in South Africa is this big! Glad to see that South Africa is doing well!
Wow it's so beautiful city I'm so proud of this city Love from India 🇮🇳❤️❤️
Stop this love from India nonsense. I see only this on every video
@@changumangu4660 Why are you being negative? He's just sending appreciation.
@@fullmetaltheorist well the repeated phrases like "love from India❤️" etc sound cliché and cringey..it almost feels like Indians are short of words and they only know this particular line, so they copy-paste it everywhere... plus why as an Indian would you be proud of a city in SA?? Things like these sound so illogical and downmarket...
@@changumangu4660why so rude he's just being nice
日本からの投稿です。
昨日、チャンネル登録して初めて視聴しました。
映像では、多くの人たちが信号なんか関係なく車が目の前に来ているのにも関わらず横断していたり、信号機も故障しているせいかいくつか作動していなかったりしていました。
やはり、その地域の国民性や文化を感じることができました。
今後も、楽しみに視聴していきます。
thank you for sharing this video
The city is recognized as the financial capital of South Africa and is home to 74 percent of Corporate Headquarters. South Africa's only stock exchange, the Johannesburg Securities Exchange (JSE) rates as one of the top 20 exchanges in the world in terms of market capitalisation.
The headquarters have moved to Sandton and Waterfall City
Beautiful Sharing🌹💞
Welcome to Johannesburg, I think it has better streets than other places though.
Nope i live here. And 100% of this streets he drove through i know them all. They are disgusting

The buildings are nice , but they really need to clean the street and fix stuff, right now it looks a bit creepy and sad
Looks just like Downtown LA in the mid 80's.
Norway next?

Buy yourself an 11-story building in a CBD for only 2,400,000 million dollars USD! 2.4 million will get you a starter home in Los Angeles! :)
37 Million South African Rand is only 2.4 Million US Dollars. 37,000,000 ZAR = 2,399,530USD

That's cheaper than some homes in Johannesburg North.
Ame khalid thanks for

I feel fear just by watching
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Indonesian review bro ?? 🙏🏻🙏🏻
👍🏽

Legal Parabén
Why is there trash all around? People can't use garbage cans?
But nobody will bother to use the rubbish bins as there is nobody to empty them, almost no working rubbish lorries, the streets are too potholed to drive on and the intersections are unsafe because the traffic lights are broken. Plus no functioning recycling centres because all the metal signs and electrical cables have been stolen. Most parts of the country are a domino game of decay refereed by the ANC and its corrupt cadres. Sad
Muy triste como se permitió que esta imponente ciudad terminara llenándose de mal vivientes y indigencia, tiene zonas que parecen Manhattan, esta ciudad merecía mucho más, solo imaginen lo que fuera sin tantos años de atraso y en las manos correctas...lamentablemente su población no lo decidió así y prefirió verla en la miseria llena de pobreza extrema....que tristeza, no cuidaron la ciudad que les dejaron y demostraron que nunca la merecieron...
Parece tepito
So Scary :(

Africa's richest square mile? You should visit Banana island/Ikoyi in Lagos Nigeria
This is joburg central, not Sandton. There's another video featuring Sandton exclusively. The irony is that the most run-down and dirty parts are occupied by foreigners, including Nigerians, but protesting means we are xenophobic.
Driver around where? You Nigerians think so highly of Banana Island with its open drains and lack of planning.
@@TheIrieman15 Banana Island is like Kilimani in Nairobi
@@TheIrieman15 you are just gushing out gibberish without any evidence to support your assertion. Have you been to Banana island, in the first place?
Pedestrians don't care about traffic lights at all
This is a world class african city

falling country... hope South Africa can step out of this in the future
A falling city. Not country. Many other cities have been recently built around Johannesburg and the private sector left the old CBD for these new modern cities that are rapidly growing around Johannesburg.
@@shisuiuchiha480 Fallen city centre to be exact. Joburg is a growing and thriving city elsewhere
😂 Chinese talking
@@TheIrieman15 we need the inner to function blacks feel good walking around and being seen in places likes Sandton but the inner city is dying.
@@phumzilexolo17 agree
I think this places scenics are so goods goods, so goods beautiful and so goods comfortable and so goods big, and so goods wides. I think thus places all buildings, all streets, all stores, all houses are so goods goods and so goods beautiful. I think this places climates are so goods goods. I think thus places traffics are so goods busy . I think this places are can able.be are have many peoples are can able be to lives. I think this places airs are so goods to fresh airs. I think this places environment are so goods comfortable. I can able be to the awersomes for it. I am to glads for it. I think are most favorites for it. I think are so goods values the delights or wows and praises for it. I am never is not see this places scenics. I am never is not go to the this places go to the travel. I hope are can able be are have times or hsve opportunities go to the this places go to the travel. Thank you for sharing thank you so much that’s right all right ok no problems me too see you soon see you later good luck good job you are welcome.
Go to Mexico!!! 🙁
It is very nice to see the beauty o johannesburg
It would be nicer if a cool music was added at the background
OK
Look like city in american...
Looks like a city that is frozen in time since the 80:s. No new developments?
All new development in Sandton City now, Johannesburg new CBD, Sandton is beautiful.
This is the old CBD,
There are new developments around the the CBD like Rosebank, Waterfall City, Sandton etc
The city looks unkept and in disrepair.
It’s an abandoned city. Most buildings are empty.
@@shisuiuchiha480 It sort of looks that way.
@@bigfrank717 Most of them left to the new Northern cities
Looks like a dystopian and run-down version of a US city. Sad how this country has rapidly fallen onto its knees.
Rubbish everywhere mxm
Level of u. S. A
no single white person i wonder
Would you have said "no single black person" if he were driving in Europe or USA?
They’d end up getting mugged/killed walking publicly in this mess.
4:46 Gun
Dirty and run down city
It looks a complete dump.
Grat joke dude 😑 😒 🤣
okay. This was depressing to watch.
Terrible filthy place.
Then clean it, your apartment can't be that big.
White people built the infrastructure, the buildings etc... where are they?
