About Johannesburg

Johannesburg är Sydafrikas dynamiska ekonomiska hjärta, en stad med stark historia, livliga townships och konst, där många safariresor börjar.

Apartheidmuseet berättar med stor kraft om segregation och motstånd, och Constitution Hill, ett före detta fängelse där både Nelson Mandela och Mahatma Gandhi hölls fångna, rymmer Författningsdomstolen. I Soweto är Vilakazi Street berömd som gatan där två Nobels fredspristagare, Mandela och Desmond Tutu, en gång bodde, och Hector Pieterson Memorial påminner om studentupproret 1976.
