Johannesburg, often called Joburg or Jozi, is South Africa’s largest city and the beating heart of its economy.

2. Constitution Hill – A Symbol of Freedom and Justice Constitution Hill is one of Johannesburg’s most powerful and important landmarks — a place where South Africa's painful past and hopeful future meet. Located in the heart of the city, Constitution Hill was once home to a notorious prison complex where political activists, including Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, and Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, were incarcerated. Known as the Old Fort Prison Complex, it stood as a brutal reminder of the oppression faced during apartheid and colonial times. But today, Constitution Hill tells a different story. It is now the site of South Africa’s Constitutional Court, the highest court in the land, dedicated to protecting the rights and freedoms of all its people. The court building itself is rich in symbolism and built using bricks from the demolished prison — showing how justice has risen from injustice.
