Gauteng means “place of gold” in the Sotho language. The same spirit that transformed the capital, Johannesburg, from a dusty 19th-century mining settlement into one of Africa’s skyscraper-clad mega-cities still runs through the veins of the locals. Johannesburg (also Joburg and Jozi) is South Africa’s urban playground, slap bang in the centre of the province. It’s a city of not just dreamers, but doers.
