A few words on Johannesburg

Johannesburg

Johannesburg, colloquially known as Jozi or Joburg, is the most populous city in South Africa, boasting a vibrant population of over 5.5 million in the city itself and more than 14.8 million in the urban area, classifying it as a megacity. Situated in the mineral-rich Witwatersrand hills, Johannesburg serves as the economic capital of South Africa, known as The City of Gold for its historical gold mining sector.

The city was founded in 1886 after the discovery of gold by Jan Gerritse Bantjes on his farm, Vogelstruisfontein. This sparked the Witwatersrand Gold Rush, attracting a rush of fortune seekers that ballooned the population to over 100,000 within a decade. The origin of the city’s name, “Johannesburg,” is attributed to various figures associated with its early history, including surveyors and government officials such as Christian Johannes Joubert and Johannes Rissik.

This tour was such a great way to see the city. The stories were interesting without feeling too scripted, and I loved being able to explore at my own pace.

This was a solid way to get to know Brighton without feeling like a tourist. The narration had depth and context, but didn't overdo it.

Started this tour with a croissant in one hand and zero expectations. The app just vibes with you, no pressure, just you, your headphones, and some cool stories.
