About Johannesburg

One of the world's most cosmopolitan cities, Johannesburg is an interesting melting-pot of race and culture. Its lively streets reflect the diversity of people populating the city - Europeans, Americans and Australians flocked here to seek their fortunes during the gold rush of the late 19th century.

As the city expanded from a fledgling town to a beating heart of prosperity, traders and entrepreneurs from India, China, lapan and Eastern Europe also laid down their roots, in recent years, West, East and Central Africans have m^de their home here, adding their own distinct stamp tc the city's profile. The result is a city that mirrors i.e. fantastic cultural mix of its inhabitants, who have managed to retain their personal identities as well as merge into a unified and unique whole - AFROPOLITAN
