About City of Joburg
Johannesburg, Joburg, eGoli, Mjiba, Joeys, Jozi – it’s impossible not to marvel at how fast this mighty metropolis sprang up on the Highveld plains in 1886 and has continued to play a pivotal role in our country’s history and economy. Johannesburg is one of the world’s youngest major cities, the only one not settled on a major waterway or bay – as well as being home to the world’s largest man-made forest and fabulous weather. These are just a few of the diverse features boasted by a city which some 5.9 million people call home.
