Johannesburg is Suid-Afrika se grootste stad en die hoofstad van Gauteng provinsie.

Dit is ook een van die wêreld se 50 grootste stedelike agglomerasies en die grootste stad in die wêreld wat nie geleë is op water van watter aard ook al nie (oseaan, meer of rivier).

Baie beskou Johannesburg as die ekonomiese setel van Afrika, aangesien dit een van Afrika se mees gegoede, modieuse en moderne stede is.

Die stadsbeeld is gevul met sommige van die hoogste geboue op die vasteland, insluitende die Carltonsentrum, Hillbrow-toring, die Sentech-toring, Ponte woonstelle en Diagonaalstraat 11.

Meeste van die geboue in die stad is redelik nuut, want die ouer geboue is afgebreek om plek te maak vir meer moderne strukture.

Johannesburg is ook noemenswaardig omdat sommige van die wêreld se grootste internasionale maatskappye en konglomerasies teenwoordig is hier, insluitende IBM, BHP Billiton, Standardbank en (Eerste) Nasionale Bank.

Behalwe vir al die hoë geboue, het Johannesburg ook 'n paar parke wat verstommend is met 'n oorweldigende aantal bome.

Om die waarheid te sê, die stad word beskou as een van die wêreld se groenste stede, want dit het ongeveer 6 miljoen bome. Dit sluit die 1.2 miljoen bome in wat geplant is langs sypaadjies en geplaveide areas en nog 4.8 miljoen wat te vinde is in privaattuine.

Soos met die meeste groot stede is daar 'n wye versameling van mense wat daar bly, met 'n paar gebiede wat luukse wonings bied in die voorstede. Ander het weer plakkers en krotdorpe, terwyl daar 'n paar is met iets van alles tussenin.

Die grootte van die plakkerbevolking in Johannesburg is aansienlik, aangesien baie migrante geskuif het vanaf die landelike gebiede rondom na die stad om te kom soek vir werk.

----Formal English----

Johannesburg is South Africa's largest city and Gauteng province's capital.

It's also one of the world's 50 biggest urban agglomerations and the biggest city in the world that doesn't sit on water of any kind (ocean, lake, or river).

Many consider Johannesburg to be the economic seat of Africa as it is one of Africa's most affluent, modish, and modern cities.

The cityscape is filled with some of the tallest buildings on the continent, including the Carlton Centre, Hillbrow Tower, the Sentech Tower, Ponte City Apartments, and 11 Diagonal Street.

Most of the buildings in the city are newer because the older ones were torn down to make way for more modern structures.

Johannesburg is also noteworthy because some of the world's largest international companies and conglomerations have presences there, including IBM, BHP Billiton, Standard Bank, and National Bank.

In addition to all the tall buildings, Johannesburg also has some astounding parks with a stupendous number of trees.

In fact, the city is considered to be one of the world's greenest cities because it has about 6 million trees, including 1.2 million that are planted along sidewalks and paved areas and another 4.8 million trees that are located in private gardens.

As with most major cities, there's a wide assemblage of people living there, with some areas offering luxurious homes in the suburbs, others holding squatters and shanty towns, and still others having everything else in between.

The size of the squatter population in Johannesburg is significant as many migrants have moved from the rural surrounding areas into the city to look for work.
