Gay Johannesburg

Oh, Joburg. Just a teenager of a city that’s growing up so fast. The greater Joburg region, including the densely populated black township of Soweto, is an area holding 10 million people. Most of South Africa’s wealth is generated in Joburg, but its unequal distribution generates a huge income gap.
 
South African apartheid lasted from 1948-1994, and the memory is still very real in the national consciousness. South Africa has been the site of several wars, colonial powers, devastating policies, and perpetuating inequalities. It’s also one of the most dynamic, diverse, and explosive places in the world, evidenced the minute you walk onto the streets and see that you can buy almost anything from street vendors, from umbrellas to cell phones to food, and bargaining occurs in 11 official languages.
 
If you’re more into ancient history, Joburg has indisputable importance in the history of humankind: the city contains two-thirds of the world’s oldest fossil remains and most likely hosted the world’s first peoples. If you’re a nature-lover, Joburg is the world’s largest manmade forest. And for the jewelry enthusiasts out there, Joburg mines two-thirds of the world’s gold. You won’t have to wait long before discovering why Joburg is unique and worth the visit.
