Johannesburg 4K - Africa's Richest Square Mile - Sandton Morning Drive

Ultra-modern high-rises, millionaire mansions, sports cars, and luxury brands. Sunday morning drive around Sandton, Rosebank, and the wealthy surrounding neighborhoods. Known as being the wealthiest neighborhood on the entire continent of Africa, about 10 minutes north of the historic city center of Johannesburg South Africa. It was kind of quiet on this Sunday morning but its still very impressive!
Johannesburg, informally known as Jozi, Joburg, or "The City of Gold", is the largest city in South Africa, classified as a megacity, and is one of the 100 largest urban areas in the world. According to Demographia, the Johannesburg-Pretoria urban area (combined because of strong transport links that make commuting feasible) is the 26th-largest in the world, with 14,167,000 inhabitants. It is the provincial capital and largest city of Gauteng, which is the wealthiest province in South Africa. Johannesburg is the seat of the Constitutional Court, the highest court in South Africa. Most of the major South African companies and banks have their head offices in Johannesburg. The city is located in the mineral-rich Witwatersrand range of hills and is the centre of large-scale gold and diamond trade. It was one of the host cities of the official tournament of the 2010 FIFA World Cup – and it hosted the final.

The city was established in 1886 following the discovery of gold on what had been a farm. Due to the extremely large gold deposit found along the Witwatersrand, within ten years, the population had grown to 100,000 inhabitants.

A separate city from the late 1970s until 1994, Soweto is now part of Johannesburg. Originally an acronym for "South-Western Townships", Soweto originated as a collection of settlements on the outskirts of Johannesburg, populated mostly by native African workers from the gold mining industry.

The metropolis is an alpha global city as listed by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network. In 2019, the population of the city of Johannesburg was 5,635,127, making it the most populous city in South Africa. In the same year, the population of Johannesburg's urban agglomeration was put at 8,000,000. Land area of the municipal city (1,645 km2 or 635 sq mi) is large in comparison with those of other major cities, resulting in a moderate population density of 2,364 per square kilometre (6,120/sq mi).

As a South African it is always nice to see positive commentary on your homeland.
We do unfortunately have major problems in our country mostly brought about by the usual useless corrupt politicians.
Still the only place I would ever want to live.

The place looks rich, the roads, the buildings, the landscaping- even the trees look rich!
