Johannesburg Metropole
The Johannesburg Metropole consists of the Johannesburg CBD, the outer urban and business centres of Sandton, Midrand, Randburg and Roodepoort, and the townships of Soweto and Alexandra.
The economic engine of South Africa, the city of Johannesburg was built atop some of the world’s largest mineral reserves, including 30% of the world’s gold. Also called ‘Egoli’ or ‘Place of Gold’ in Zulu, Johannesburg is the largest city in Sub-Saharan Africa, covering over 200 square miles.

JHB is today a massive urban and business metropolis with sprawling suburbs and some of South Africa’s largest townships. Somewhat at odds with this, ‘Jozi’ as it is affectionately known, is also the ‘Greenest’ city in the world with over 10 million trees lining streets and parks. JHB has been called ‘the largest man-made forest in the world’. Many of these trees are jacaranda trees, and the masses of violet blossoms these trees in JHB and neighbouring Pretoria produce can give satellite images of the Gauteng area a purple hue in summer.
