Welcome to

JOBURG Welcome to Johannesburg, Africa’s most vibrant metropolis, commercial and financial hub! Now proudly taking its place as Africa’s second largest city, Johannesburg is growing at an unprecedented rate – constantly and continuously transforming itself. It is the financial and industrial capital of South Africa, the economic powerhouse of Africa and was founded in the heyday of one of the world’s biggest and richest gold rushes - earning it the name Egoli which means ‘place of gold’. A versatile business and mega-events destination, Johannesburg is capable of handling a vast array of events - from small meetings to massive international gatherings, conventions, concerts, sports tournaments and mega-events. With excellent infrastructure, unique transport features, world-class hotel inventory, spectacular stadiums and magnificent architecture, it’s no wonder that Johannesburg was voted the world’s 3rd best city in 2011.

FACTS

Did You Know? 1

Johannesburg enjoys plenty of sunshine (an average of 12 hours per day) and very little wind. The greater Johannesburg metropolis covers an area of 2 300 square kilometres, making it larger than Sydney, London and New York – and similar in size to Los Angeles.

3 The city is home to 60% of South Africa’s information communication technology enterprises. Johannesburg hosted the International Broadcast Centre during the 2010 Soccer World Cup. 4

Johannesburg is home to 4.4 million people, the majority of whom are aged between 19 and 39.

5 Johannesburg’s nickname “Egoli” means “place of gold”. Forty percent of the world’s gold has been found in the Witwatersrand, the reef on which the city was built. 6 Founded more than 125 years ago in 1886, Johannesburg is one of the world’s youngest major cities – and the only one not founded on a major waterway (bay or large river). 7 During this time, it has been rebuilt four times – it started out as a tented mining camp, evolved into a town of tin shanties, then a city of four-storey Edwardian brick buildings and finally a city of modern skyscrapers. 8 There are 10 million trees in Johannesburg, making it the world’s largest manmade, urban forest. 9

There are 17 nature reserves in the City.

There are 12 river systems running throughout the City.

Johannesburg has approximately 150 heritage sites, half of which are national monuments.

An amazing 40 percent of all the world’s human ancestor fossils have been found in areas close to Johannesburg.

Johannesburg is home to the only two polar bears in Africa, at the Johannesburg Zoo. There are 64 hectares of bird sanctuaries in and around Johannesburg.

There are 1000 ha of green spaces in and around Johannesburg. The Botanical Gardens in Emmarentia are 81 ha in size.

ACCOMMODATION There are over 12,488 graded hotel rooms in Johannesburg, all catering for a variety of budgets.

VENUES The Sandton Convention Centre provides over 22 000 m² of meeting and exhibition space. Gallagher Estate Convention Centre can host up to 12,000 delegates.

How to get to

JOBURG

Joburg is geographically fairly centrally located in South Africa.

AIRPORT The O.R. Tambo International Airport (ORTIA) in Johannesburg is the air transport hub of Southern Africa, catering for more than 17 million passengers each year. It is about 30 km from the city, servicing over 55 international airlines and numerous domestic airlines.

HIGH SPEED RAILWAY The Gautrain speed train service travels at a maximum speed of 180 kilometers per hour linking the airport to various areas of Johannesburg in just 12 minutes.

BUSES The Rea Vaya bus route covers a distance of over 120km and serves as a feeder system to the Gautrain. The bright red buses oﬀer fast and affordable public transport throughout the city.

TAXIS Johannesburg has two types of taxis, metered taxis and minibus taxis. Unlike other cities, metered taxis don’t normally drive around the city looking for passengers, they need to be called for a pick up. Minibus taxis are largely used by locals to commute between residential areas and places of work.

THE SIGHTSEEING BUS As with all City Sightseeing tours, Johannesburg operates on the world renowned and hugely popular Hop-On, Hop-Oﬀ, system which allows sight seers the chance to get on and oﬀ the bus at any of the 12 designated stops along the route.

JOBURG THEATRE Johannesburg’s Civic Theatre was built by the then city council in 1962, creating a high-profile landmark on the top of the Braamfontein Hill. The building was given a magnificent face-lift in the late ‘80s, turning it into one of the most technically proficient theatres in the southern hemisphere. In the year 2000 - when theatres across the country were considered to be both creatively and financially moribund - the city council decided to corporatise the operating company of theatre, which is now a municipal entity of the city of Joburg. Joburg Theatre is permanent home to South African Mzansi Ballet, Jill Girard and Keith Smith’s Peoples Theatre Company - performing throughout the year to children between the ages of 3 and 15 - and one of the country’s most respected community development projects in Address: Joburg Theatre, Loveday Street, contact Braamfontein 2001, Johannesburg General Telephone: +27 (0)11 877 6800 Website: www.joburgtheatre.com Hospitality Services: Simphiwe Ndoqo Telephone: +27 (0)11 877 6828 Email: hospitality@joburgtheatre.com

UNIQUE VENUES

APARTHEID MUSEUM The Apartheid Museum opened in 2001 and is acknowledged as the pre-eminent museum in the world dealing with 20th century South Africa, at the heart of which is the apartheid story. The Apartheid Museum, the first of its kind, illustrates the rise and fall of apartheid. A series of 22 individual exhibition areas takes the visitor through a dramatic emotional journey that tells a story of a state-sanctioned system based on racial discrimination and the struggle of the majority to overthrow this tyranny. For anyone wanting to understand and experience what apartheid South Africa was really like, a visit to the Apartheid Museum is fundamental. The museum is a beacon of hope showing the world how South Africa is coming to terms with its oppressive past and working towards a future that all South Africans can call their own.

CONSTITUTION HILL Nowhere can the story of South Africa’s turbulent past and its extraordinary transition to democracy be told as it is at Constitution Hill. Constitutional Square is an open outdoor piazza located in front of the Constitutional Court, which is the highest court in South Africa. The space is ideal for large public events and performances. This large square is framed on two sides by the Old Fort Ramparts and on the other two sides by the double-storey facades of the Old Fort that provide excellent backdrops for staged performances. It occupies a central space within the precinct and has numerous access points and circulation thoroughfares. The courtyards were exercise yards with twostorey high walls framing a view of the Johannesburg skyscrapers and the Hillbrow Tower. Particularly spectacular at night, the layers of history reveal themselves in the high walls that enclose the yard making it an intimate and acoustically appropriate area for small performances and gatherings. The Slovo Courtyard is the main internal prison yard and is situated at the centre of the Old Fort. It is framed by his-

toric walls of the Old Fort complex that oﬀer a perfect canvas for outdoor projection. This is the very courtyard in which Joe Slovo provided legal advice to other prisoners. The Laundry Courtyard is a large outdoor space with a view of one of the permanent exhibition spaces. Located on the west side, the Women’s Gaol Lekgotla and Laundry courtyard are connected by a small central garden courtyard.

APARTHEID MUSEUM CONSTITUTION HILL GOLD REEF CITY The Apartheid Museum opened in 2001 and is acknowledged as the pre-eminent museum in the world dealing with 20th century South Africa, at the heart of which is the apartheid story. The Apartheid Museum, the first of its kind, illustrates the rise and fall of apartheid. A series of 22 individual exhibition areas takes the visitor through a dramatic emotional journey that tells a story of a state-sanctioned system based on racial discrimination and the struggle of the majority to overthrow this tyranny. For anyone wanting to understand and experience what apartheid South Africa was really like, a visit to the Apartheid Museum is fundamental. The museum is a beacon of hope showing the world how South Africa is coming to terms with its oppressive past and working towards a future that all South Africans can call their own. Nowhere can the story of South Africa’s turbulent past and its extraordinary transition to democracy be told as it is at Constitution Hill. Constitutional Square is an open outdoor piazza located in front of the Constitutional Court, which is the highest court in South Africa. The space is ideal for large public events and performances. This large square is framed on two sides by the Old Fort Ramparts and on the other two sides by the double-storey facades of the Old Fort that provide excellent backdrops for staged performances. It occupies a central space within the precinct and has numerous access points and circulation thoroughfares. The courtyards were exercise yards with twostorey high walls framing a view of the Johannesburg skyscrapers and the Hillbrow Tower. Particularly spectacular at night, the layers of history reveal themselves in the high walls that enclose the yard making it an intimate and acoustically appropriate area for small performances and gatherings. The Slovo Courtyard is the main internal prison yard and is situated at the centre of the Old Fort. It is framed by historic walls of the Old Fort complex that oﬀer a perfect canvas for outdoor projection. This is the very courtyard that Joe Slovo provided legal advice to other prisoners.

NEWTOWN PRECINCT Newtown Cultural Precinct has become Johannesburg’s tourist hot spot in recent years. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes this development has proved that putting in the effort truly pays off. Attracting large numbers of local residents as well as travelers from far-off, there is much to see and do in the renewed Newtown Precinct. Some years ago, the Newtown area had fallen into a slum overlooked by the derelict cooling towers and dark turbine hall of the first coal power station in Johannesburg. Suffering much the same neglect and rot as other sections of the disused Central Business District, Newtown seemed doomed. However, a fantastic program, names iGoli 2000, was put in place by the Johannesburg Metropolitan to revive the Newtown Precinct. Since the implementation of this plan, Newtown has seen many major advances with the improvement of various local attractions as well as several new attractions to Johannesburg.

SOWETO Soweto is an urban area of the city of Johannesburg in Gauteng, bordering the city’s mining belt in the south. The history of African townships southwest of Johannesburg that would later form Soweto was propelled by the increasing eviction of Africans by city and state authorities. Africans had been drawn to work on the gold mines that were established after 1886. From the start they were accommodated in separate areas on the outskirts of Johannesburg, such as Brickfields (Newtown). In 1904, British-controlled city authorities removed African and Indian residents of Brickfields to an “evacuation camp” at Klipspruit municipal sewage farm (not Kliptown, a separate township) outside the Johannesburg municipal boundary, following a reported outbreak of plague. Many parts of Soweto rank among the poorest in Johannesburg, although individual townships tend to have a mix of wealthier and poorer residents. In general, households in the outlying areas to the northwest and southeast have lower incomes, while those in southwestern areas tend to have higher incomes. Website: www.soweto.co.za

HARTEBEESPORT DAM Hartbeespoort, informally known as “Harties”, is a small resort town in the North West Province of South Africa, situated on the slopes of the Magaliesberg Mountain and the banks of the Hartbeespoort Dam. The name of the town means “gateway of the hartbees” (a species of antelope) in Afrikaans. It was previously known as Schoemansville, named after General Hendrik Schoeman, a boer general in the AngloBoer War who owned the farm that the Hartbeespoort Dam was built on. The town consists mainly of holiday homes around the dam as it is popular with visitors from nearby Gauteng Province. It is home to the Om Die Dam ultra marathon of 50 km, which takes place annually in the first half of the year. The spectacular view of the Magaliesberg Mountains is breathtaking and is best savoured at sunset whilst on a leisurely boat cruise.

This is followed by a guided tour of the other four ethnic homesteads – Zulu, Basotho, Xhosa and Pedi. As the sun sets over the African bush, guests are escorted to the Boma for traditional singing and dancing (a very participative aﬀair) depicting stories that date back to the days of their ancestors.

Dinokeng is a Big 5 nature reserve that lies 45 minutes northeast of Johannesburg, and a mere 15 minutes from Pretoria/Tshwane. Dinokeng is marketed as the place of the world’s largest diamond, discovered because of its proximity to the Cullinan Diamond. Dinokeng refers to an area, not particular town and is also part of an initiative by the government to establish a tourist destination close to Gauteng that lies in the catchment areas of two rivers, the Elands and Pienaars.
