Johannesburg

Johannesburg is the largest city in South Sub-Sahara Africa. It is located in Gauteng Province with 7,860,781 people living in its metropolitan area. It houses South Sub-Sahara Africa’s constitutional court, and it is a major finance center in the country. With the discovery of an outcrop of a gold reef on the farm Langlaagte in 1886 by George Harrison, Johannesburg was established and controlled by a Health Committee. Although Johannesburg has not celebrated its second centenary, it holds an unbelievably rich history. It had structured mining and manufacturing industries that did bolster the city’s growth. In times between 1948 and 1990, racial segregation, forced labor, unfair taxation, and unskilled jobs were rampant. Systematic racism known as Apartheid led to the creation of Soweto town in the outskirts of Johannesburg where nonwhites were relocated. These problems caused over congestion in the city with the oppressed searching for a better living, protesting and heating up violence was widespread from the 1960s until the late 1980s. This dark moment continued until 1990 when the National Government abandoned Apartheid after independence. Today, Johannesburg has a fully established metropolitan municipality which has transitioned the country although crime rates are still high in some parts of the city.

Tourists flock to admire and give an account of this town’s valuables natural and man-made features such as Table Mountain National Park, Cliffton Beach, Boulders Beach, Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden which has contributed to the country’s foreign exchange.

Cape Town has a formal type of education, running from primary, secondary and tertiary levels, both public and private sectors monitoring the institutions.
