3. About Johannesburg

    Johannesburg is the largest and most populous 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 ([http://www.citypopulation.de/World.html]), and one of Africa's only two global city, the other being Cairo according to the Globalization and World Cities group's 1999 inventory, which classified it as a gamma world city). While Johannesburg does not form one of South Africa's three capital cities, it does house the South African 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 also served by O.R. 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 2001 Census, the population of the city is more than three million. Johannesburg's land area of 1644|precision=0|spell=commonwealth|wiki=yes is very large when compared to other cities, resulting in a population density of only 1962|precision=0|spell=commonwealth|. The population of the Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area is almost eight million. Johannesburg also encompasses Soweto to the south west, a township that the apartheid government established to accommodate the large number of migrant workers.
