Some call Johannesburg “Jo’burg” or “Jozi or “City of Gold”. The name refers to Johannesburg’s beginnings as a 19th-century gold rush town and today it is the country’s commercial center. Economic strength, energy, a beautiful climate, and commercial vitality make Johannesburg a fascinating destination. With around 5 million residents, it is the largest African city south of the Sahara.
