About Joburg
The City That Never Stops
Johannesburg is one of Africa largest and most complex cities. Founded in 1886 during the gold rush, it grew faster than almost any city in history. What emerged was a city of enormous contradictions — wealth and poverty, innovation and inequality, beauty and grit.
Walking through Johannesburg reveals layers that no drive-by or bus tour can capture. The inner city streets, the art scene of Maboneng, the markets of Newtown, the history embedded in Fordsburg — these are stories that require being on foot to understand.
