Johannesburg is the economic powerhouse of South Africa, and southern Africa. Founded in 1886 with the discovery of gold on the Reef, Johannesburg has grown into a world-class city: the provincial capital of Gauteng and the financial centre of the country. It is home to JSE Limited, the largest stock exchange on the continent and the 16th biggest in the world. Johannesburg generates 16.5 percent of the country's wealth and employs 12 percent of the national workforce. More than 70 percent of South African companies have their headquarters here. Johannesburg also known as Jozi, is the largest city in South Africa. It is the provincial capital of Gauteng, which is the wealthiest province in South Africa.
Johannesburg, South Africa's biggest city and capital of Gauteng province, began as a 19th-century gold-mining settlement. Its sprawling Soweto township was once home to Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu. Mandela’s former residence is now the Mandela House museum. Other Soweto museums that recount the struggle to end segregation include the somber Apartheid Museum and Constitution Hill, a former prison complex.
