Internet JHB: Johannesburg.
Johannesburg, also known as eGoli (place of gold), is the largest and most
populous city in South Africa. The city is affectionately known as Jo'burg,Joeys
Jozi and JHB by South Africans. Johannesburg is the provincial capital of
Gauteng, the wealthiest province in South Africa, and which has the largest
economy of any metropolitan region in Sub-Saharan Africa. The city is one of the
40 largest metropolitan areas in the world, and Africa's only officially
designated global city (classified as a gamma world city). While often assumed
to be South Africa's capital, Johannesburg does not form one of South Africa's
three capital cities. Johannesburg does, however, house the South African
Constitutional Court - South Africa's highest court.
Johannesburg is the source of a large-scale gold and diamond trade, due to its
location on the mineral-rich Witwatersrand range of hills. Johannesburg is also
served by O.R. Tambo International Airport, the largest and busiest airport in
Africa and a gateway for international air travel to and from the rest of
southern Africa.
According to the 2001 Census, the population of the city is more than three
million. Johannesburg's land area of 1,644 square kilometres (635 sq mi) is very
large when compared to other cities, resulting in a population density of only
1,962 inhabitants per square kilometre (5,082/sq mi). The population of the
Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area is almost eight million. Johannesburg
also encompasses Soweto to the south west, a township that the apartheid
government established to accommodate the large number of migrant workers. check
