| Things To Do |
The area of Johannesburg has been inhabited for millions of years and
hominid remains dating back 3.3 million years have been discovered in
the area. Johannesburg was originally inhabited by nomadic Bushmen,
who were joined by the Bantu-speaking people of the Niger-Congo area
around theyear 1060AD. Large numbers of Europeans began to settle
in the city in the 1880’s. For many years South Africa was governed by
apartheid, which prevented non-Europeans from working skilled jobs
and saw them taxed unfairly. Through forced removals, the non-
Europeans were moved to designated areas, the most famous being
the shantytown of Soweto (Now a popular historical tourist
destination). Apartheid was abandoned in February 1990, and since
1994 discriminatory laws have not ruled Johannesburg.
Despite its rocky history, the city is increasingly popular amongst
tourists, and in recent years a number of attractions have been
developed, not least, the fascinating historical museums such as the
Hector Pieterson Museum and the Apartheid Museum. For less
historically-minded visitors, the city also boasts the large Johannesburg
Zoo and the massive Gold Reef City amusement park. Just outside the
city is the Cradle of Humankind – a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which
boasts the largest number of hominid fossils ever discovered.
Johannesburg is a friendly, bustling city, which offers visitors numerous
opportunities for entertainment. The city’s exciting nightlife is centred
around the upmarket Melrose Arch area, as well as the Melville student
district. Johannesburg is home to an abundance of shopping centres
and boutiques and a visit to the traditional Rosebank flea market is
essential for all visitors. Johannesburg is a charming destination due to
its mild climate which boasts pleasantly warm summers and winters.
The city experiences plenty of sun, with only occasional afternoon
showers between October and April
