Johannesburg

South Africa's largest city, known as Joburg or Jozi, was founded in 1886 following the discovery of gold on the Witwatersrand ridge. It grew from a mining camp to a metropolis in decades and remains the economic engine of sub-Saharan Africa. The Apartheid Museum and Constitution Hill document South Africa's struggle for democracy. The Maboneng Precinct has revitalized the inner city's cultural scene.
