Johannesburg is the largest city in South Africa. Johannesburg is the provincial capital of Gauteng, the wealthiest province in South Africa, having the largest economy of any metropolitan region in Sub-Saharan Africa.The city is one of the 40 largest metropolitan areas in the world, and is also the world's largest city not situated on a river, lake, or coastline. While Johannesburg is not officially one of South Africa's three capital cities, it does house the Constitutional Court -- South Africa's highest court. Johannesburg is the source of a large-scale gold and diamond trade, due to its location on the mineral-rich Witwatersrand range of hills. Johannesburg is served by OR Tambo International Airport, the largest and busiest airport in Africa and a gateway for international air travel to and from the rest of southern Africa. According to the 2007 Community Survey, the population of the municipal city was 3888180 and the population of the Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area was 7151447.[citation needed] A broader definition of the Johannesburg metropolitan area, including Ekhuruleni, the West Rand, Soweto and Lenasia, has a population of 10267700.[citation needed] The municipal city's land area of 1645 km2 (635 sq mi) is very large when compared to other cities, resulting in a moderate population density of 2364 /km2 (6120 /sq mi). Johannesburg once again includes Soweto, which was a separate city from the late 1970s until the 1990s. Originally an acronym for <b>...</b> Johannesburg -...

Louis Theroux travels to Johannesburg, where the residents find themselves increasingly besieged by crime. Despairing of the capability of the police and the courts to protect them, many have turned to an industry of private security, offering protection for a price. Are the sometimes brutal methods of these private police really a solution or just another part of the problem? Louis Theroux -...
This was a idea i had whilst going to meet another activist in Johannesburg central business district. As some of you may remember jhb, it has changed a load. i was born in jhb and lived in Hillbrow from age 0 until about 5 years old! People who deny any kind of economic inequality can watch this and see a my taxi(minibus) drove from Randburg through Craighall park, Hyde Park and Rosebank over the highway and into Johannesburg, the difference is clear! As you will see there are many buildings that can be used to provide suitable housing to homeless people, even for orphanages. These buildings can also be renovated in order to incorporate them into food growing warehouses!!! As there years go by and more people flock to the cities for employment, so that money can be sent to loved ones, in the rural areas and neighboring states, it is clear that food security is highly important!! it is this monetary system that has perpetuated more crime, more abuse-exploitation and more poverty! It is clear that Capitalism is not working. I urge You All to research alternatives for this system as it is killing our People. Inequality can be addressed without the use of violence! we need not take from others to ensure a better life!!! I am saying turn the building sector on it head, provide goods and services for FREE!! Provide Skills and Training For FREE!! Provide Education FREE!! My Question to You is Do You want a better life for All? Times are changing, we have the technical know how <b>...</b> Trip to the heart...

Highways are the fastest way to get from Johannesburg to Pretoria, but South Africa's government says motorists should pay for the privilege. The department of transport wants to recoup the $2.5bn cost of building and improving main routes into the city, but the move has been met with widespread opposition. It has been proposed that tolls will be applied to 185km of highway, but critics say it was never made clear while the roadworks were happening that people would have to pay one day. There have been a series of protests and a general strike against the proposal and a high court judge has now ruled that there should be a full court review of the scheme that could lead to it being scrapped. Al Jazeera's Tania Page reports from Johannesburg. Ruling puts...
Johannesburg, South Africa, is infamous for its violent crime, AIDS and its history of apartheid. Any one of these challenges might strangle the life of a city, but not Joburg.

JOHANNESBURG (12/01/12) A taxi driver was dragged into a puddle and ordered to swim because he laughed at a police officer. A woman was pepper-sprayed and beaten with a stick because she wanted to close her shop. And a human rights worker had his phone confiscated and was arrested for taking photographs of a soldier beating a shopkeeper with the butt of his R4 assault rifle. Parts of Joburg resembled a war zone on Thursday as the SA National Defence Force, the SAPS Tactical Response Team and customs officials took part in Operation Festive Season for a second day on Thursday Read the full story at : m.iol.co.za To reuse content contact Yusuf Omar on (+27) 0822652133 or email yusuf.omar@inl.co.za Police brutality...
