About Johannesburg

Johannesburg is het dynamische economische hart van Zuid-Afrika, met krachtige geschiedenis, levendige townships en kunst, en een startpunt voor safari's.

Het Apartheidsmuseum vertelt met grote kracht het verhaal van segregatie en verzet, en Constitution Hill, een voormalige gevangenis waar zowel Nelson Mandela als Mahatma Gandhi werden vastgehouden, is de zetel van het Constitutioneel Hof. In Soweto is Vilakazi Street beroemd als de straat waar twee Nobelprijswinnaars voor de Vrede, Mandela en Desmond Tutu, ooit woonden, en het Hector Pieterson Memorial herinnert aan de studentenopstand van 1976.
