Johannesburg

Johannesburg is the largest city in South Africa with almost 4 million people It helps to have Soweto nearby, since Soweto was a SouthWest Township with the largest population in a noncity. Johannesburg is called Egoli or "City of Gold" and reminds me of Dick Wittington who thought London was paved with Gold. Egoli is literally sitting on a goldmine where 40% of the world's gold has been mined.
