Johannesburg, South Africa - Driving Tour 4K

Johannesburg (/dʒoʊˈhænɪsbɜːrɡ/ joh-HAN-iss-burg, US also /-ˈhɑːn-/ -⁠HAHN-, Afrikaans: [jʊəˈɦanəsbœrχ]; Zulu and Xhosa: eGoli [ɛˈɡɔːli]) (colloquially known as Jozi, Joburg, Jo'burg or "The City of Gold") is the most populous city in South Africa with 4,803,262 people, and is classified as a megacity; it is one of the 100 largest urban areas in the world. 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 within the mineral-rich Witwatersrand hills, the epicentre of the international-scale mineral, gold and (specifically) diamond trade.
Johannesburg was established in 1886, following the discovery of gold, on what had been a farm. Due to the extremely large gold deposits found along the Witwatersrand, within ten years, the population had grown to over 100,000 inhabitants. A separate city from the late 1970s until 1994, Soweto is now part of the Greater Johannesburg metropolitan area. An acronym for "South-Western Townships", Soweto was organised initially as a collection of nondescript settlements on the outskirts of the city, populated mostly by African labourers working in the gold mining industry. Soweto, although eventually incorporated into Johannesburg, had been explicitly separated as a residential area for blacks only-no whites allowed-who were not permitted to live in other "white-designated" areas of Johannesburg. Another region, Lenasia, is predominantly populated by English-speaking Indo-South Africans (people of Indian and South Asian descent). These areas were, in previous decades, designated as non-white areas, in accordance with the segregationist policies of the time-known as apartheid. It would go on to be one of the host cities of the official tournament of the 2010 FIFA World Cup-and it hosted the final.
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 metro Johannesburg's urban agglomeration was put at 8 000 000.[8] 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).

[@stephaniediedericks6941]

I've never been to Johannesburg but surely heard alot about the place

[@anthonywalks]

In love with the city❤️❤️❤️

[@Roro-sp7to]

Please stop running red lights, stopping on top of pedestrian crossings and not yielding to those pedestrians trying to use the crossings…

[@leonardolupini3484]

Geez, so nice and clean. But other parts are really filthy, like Hillbrow etc

[@MosesMatsepane]

West Africans destroyed those places. South Africans don't go anywhere near those places.

[@Bryan-eq6nt]

@@MosesMatsepane Stop being a xenophobe. hillbrow is the governments fault

[@MosesMatsepane]

@@Bryan-eq6nt Townships are also neglected by the Government but if I was to choose between a Township and Hillbrow, I would choose a Township everyday. The people that moved into Hillbrow come from incredibly disorganised countries and they are filthy. I can only imagine what Lagos looks like.

[@MosesMatsepane]

@@Bryan-eq6nt That Xenophobe blackmail doesn't work on me.

[@FictionHubZA]

@@Bryan-eq6nt He is right. The place has been ruined by illegal foreigners.

[@OhNoItsReuben]

So much jay walking lol

[@AlCatSplat]

how did bro survive 💀

[@alexpolyakov5934]

Why are so many traffic light off?

[@tho88315]

They don't care to fix them...cause it's in the CBD.

[@Just.Phillip]

some parts of Johannesburg were experiencing power cut which they called loadshedding for few hours

[@dalejenkins1558]

until you meet up with me-leven

[@nnn8502]

You are going to cause accidents 4:20 6:17

[@merciabrowne5163]

[@RiverJames1]
