Gauteng
Gauteng
- Place of Gold – is the economic powerhouse of Southern
Africa.
From the vibrant metropolis of Soweto, through dynamic
Johannesburg, to the tree-lined diplomacy of Pretoria,
Gauteng is a cosmopolitan, multicultural mix of people from
all walks of life.
Gauteng inherits its cosmopolitan vitality from an often
violent and turbulent past. Township tours and the many
battlefields and gravesites scattered throughout the
province bear witness to the challenges faced by the
people.
The province
is renowned for being South Africa's and, indeed Africa's,
economic, financial, business and entertainment epi-centre.
The smallest yet wealthiest province in South Africa -
covering only 18 810 square kilometres - Gauteng is a unique
fusion of democratic and traditional values. |
