Gauteng as we know it today was formed from a part of the old 

Transvaal Province after South Africa’s fi rst democratic elections

Getting Around 

Getting Around 

Getting Around Gauteng 

Gauteng’s public transport system is currently 

undergoing something of a revolution, beginning 

with the Gautrain and Rea Vaya rapid bus system. 

The Gautrain is well patronised by residents and 

tourists alike on its Pretoria to O.R Tambo International 

route, with Rea Vaya buses extending routes into the 

suburbs. However, driving still remains the order of the 

day in Gauteng, and renting a car, or using metered 

cabs is very much advised. South Africans drive on 

the left side of the road, and drivers must have an 

international driver’s licence and a minimum of five 

years’ driving experience to hire a car in South Africa. 

CBD 

If you find yourself in the CBD, you should orientate 

yourself from the main transport hub of Park Station. 

From there, take a taxi to your destination. The trips 

are not for the faint-hearted, as taxis can travel at 

high speed and stop wherever passengers wish to 

disembark – usually with little warning. A system of hand 

signals is used to indicate your desired destination. 

Soweto 

Reach Soweto by boarding a Rea Vaya bus at Park Station. 

Buses run every five to 16 minutes on weekends and every 

20 to 30 minutes on weekends. Once in Soweto, stick to 

Vilakazi Street, where there is rich pickings in terms of 

sights, history, restaurants, and the Mandela Museum. 

Sandton 

At the beginning of your foray into the suburb of Sandton, 

it is likely that you will find yourself at the Sandton Gautrain 

Station (15 minutes journey from Park Station). From 

there, you can catch a feeder bus into the suburbs, or hail 

a metered cab, which is a safe and convenient option. 

Cradle of Humankind 

Gauteng’s secondary airport, Lanseria, is 30km 

northwest of the CBD and is used by an increasing 

number of budget airlines. Minibus taxis and metered 

cabs don’t tend to wait at this airport, so either arrange 

a transfer with your accommodation, or rent a car. 

Maropeng, the official visitor centre of the Cradle of 

Humankind, is a 30 minute / 21km drive from Lanseria. 

Tshwane 

You can arrive in Tshwane quite easily using the Gautrain, 

from O.R Tambo International Airport (45 minutes). Once 

you disembark the train, you will need to hail a metered 

cab, a taxi, or pre-arrange with your accommodation 

to have a shuttle meet you. You will need to rent a 

car to explore Tshwane, or use the service of a cab. 

Ekurhuleni, Vaal and Dinokeng 

For ease of movement around these hubs, one should 

either rent a car or simply join a tour. 

The Gautrain Rapid Rail Link is the first rapid rail network 

in Africa. The rail connection comprises two links, one 

between Tshwane and Johannesburg and the other 

between OR Tambo International Airport and Sandton. The 

system offers a fast, convenient, safe and efficient public 

transport service. It takes 15 minutes to travel from Sandton 

to OR Tambo International Airport on the Gautrain and 35 

minutes from Tshwane to Park Station in Johannesburg. 

In 2014, the Gautrain’s airport service (Sandton to OR 

Tambo International Airport) was improved with earlier 

trains in the mornings and later trains in the evenings. 

THE GAUTRAIN 

The Gautrain’s airport link recently competed with the best 

in the industry and around the world in customer service 

and was awarded the Global Air Rail Award for excellence 

in customer service by the Global Air Rail Alliance in Oslo. 

The GARA awards are international awards dedicated 

to the air-rail industry, recognising the best practice in 

intermodal travel around the world. The awards also 

look for the best examples of delivering an enjoyable 

and stress-free journey from air to rail travel. Some of 

the finalists included Birmingham Airport (UK), Flytoget 

(Oslo, Norway) and Canada Line (Vancouver, Canada) 

A cash-free ticketing system and the use of reloadable 

smart cards, makes travelling on the Gautrain quick and 

convenient. Passengers can buy their Gold Cards at any 

Gautrain stations as well as approved service outlets. 

Buses and shuttles are available to transport 

passengers during weekdays to and from all stations 

excluding the OR Tambo International Airport station. 

The background to the design of the themes of the 10 

stations along the Gautrain route portrays the diverse 

South African resources, technology, economy and 

culture. Park Station represents mining, Rosebank is 

retail, Sandton is commerce, Marlboro Station is music, 

art and culture, Rhodesfield Station is industry, OR Tambo 

International Station is a tribute to the nation, Midrand is 

gateway to Gauteng, Centurion is sports, Pretoria station 

is rail history and Hatfield station represents academia.

stores. A wide variety of local beers are 

produced by South African Breweries, 

and there is an established craft

The seasons mostly blend into each other, 

with summer stretching from November to 

March and milder temperatures setting in from 

April to May. Winter starts in June and lasts until 

August. Spring (September and October) is brief,

northern suburbs. Summer temperatures average 

25 C (77 F), with winter days dropping to a low of 

around 15 C (59F). Winter nights can dip to 4C

spectacular lightning displays and the 

occasional rainbow to match.

Essential Information 




Crime and Safety 

The truth about safety is a shifting reality. A lot of opportunistic 

crime takes place in dense city neighbourhoods and in suburban 

neighbourhoods, where homes are targeted. You’ll notice the 

ubiquitous guard huts, electric fencing and private-security patrol 

cars in the wealthier northern suburbs, and the razor wire in less 

affluent areas. Over the years people have 

become unselfconscious about adding security features to 

their homes. Our advice is to be aware rather than paranoid. As in 

any other modern metropolis, you need to use your head, know 

where you’re going, and not flash your cash or valuables around. 

Consult a local to get a head’s up, but walk away if they’re the type 

to tell you that the city is a no-go area – you have just chosen the 

wrong local. When you plan your first walk around the inner-city, 

consider a tour with one of the many knowledgeable guides who 

offer them, or a City Sightseeing Red Bus hop-on, hop-off tour to 

get the lay of the land. 

24-hour city 

The relentless pace slows in the evening, and same 

restaurant kitchens close 22:00. Sunday nights are quiet, and many 

restaurants, galleries and museums areclosed on Mondays. The 

city’s nightlife is scattered so planyour night out in advance and call 

restaurants to check on kitchen closing times. Convenience stores 

at petrol stations are the most likely places to be open after hours if 

you need basics like airtime for your cell phone. 

Languages 

South Africa has 11 offi cial languages: Afrikaans, English, 

Ndebele, Northern Sotho, Sotho, Swazi, Tswana, Tsonga, 

Venda, Xhosa and Zulu. Most South Africans speak more 

than one language, but city life happens in English. Apart 

from the offi cial languages, Joburg is home to a babel of 

language communities from across the globe. 

SAFETY TIPS 

• If you’re staying in a hotel, lock up valuables in the 

room or hotel safe 

• When driving, always keep valuables in the boot of 

the car rather than on the passenger seat. Keep the 

windows up and the doors locked 

• Don’t leave valuable items visible in a parked car 

• Don’t stroll down a street talking on your cellphone 

• Pay attention to what is going on around you 

• Don’t show off expensive jewellery, watches or 

cameras 

• Never accept help from strangers at an ATM 

• Opt for using an ATM inside a bank or mall 

• Areas such as Alexandra, Hillbrow, Yeoville and 

Joubert Park should only be visited with a tour guide

South Africa has 12 public holidays. No matter how solemn 

their intention, they are regarded by most as shoppingextravaganza 

days. The city slows from December 16, with the 

shopping frenzy tapering off between Christmas Day and early 

January when Joburgers head for the coast or to family in other 

provinces. Most big malls are open on all public holidays (see 

Shopping). Whenever a public holiday falls on a Sunday, the 

Monday following it is also a public holiday. This year marks the 

20th anniversary of South Africa’s democracy, offi cially 

declared on Freedom Day, April 27, 1994, when the country’s 

fi rst democratic elections were held.

party after fi ghting against apartheid and for a non-racial 

democracy. The country has a multiparty political system 

and more than 10 political parties in Parliament. The 

current president is Jacob Zuma. 

Banking and Money 

Currency: South Africa’s unit of currency is the rand, 

known informally as the “randela” because new 

banknotes bear the image of former president Nelson 

Mandela. The currency code is ZAR and there are 

100 cents in each rand. Banknotes are issued in 

denominations of R200, R100, R50, R20 and R10. Coins 

come in R5, R2, R1, 50c, 20c, 10c and 5c units. All prices 

are rounded off to the nearest 5c. 

Value-added tax (Vat): An indirect tax of 14% levied on 

all consumer goods and services, except some basic 

foodstuffs. Price tags generally include Vat unless 

this amount is separately stated. Non-resident foreign 

passport holders visiting South Africa can claim a Vat 

refund – two refund offi ces are located in the international 

departures hall of O.R. Tambo International Airport. 

Present your purchases and tax invoices for inspection.

JOBURG FAST FACTS 

Johannesburg’s aliases Egoli, Jozi, Joburg, Joey’s, City of Gold 

Location In the province of Gauteng, one of nine South 

African provinces 

Economic clout The fi nancial heart of South Africa and the 

economic powerhouse of sub-Saharan Africa. Gauteng 

contributes 34.7% of the country’s gross domestic product 

Stock exchange The Johannesburg Stock Exchange in Sandton 

is the largest stock exchange on the continent and one of the 

world’s 20 largest exchanges by market capitalisation 

Financial heart Home to the headquarters of more than 70% of 

South African companies 

Population More than four million people live in and around the 

city, and 42% of them are younger than 24 

Diversity The 2011 census recorded that 76.4% of Joburg’s 

population are black African, 12.3% are white people, 5.6% are 

coloured people, and 4.9% are Indian/Asian. Of those 19.2% 

have some form of higher education, and 2.9% of those aged 20 

and older have no form of schooling 

Inland port Has one of the larger inland ports in the world – the 

City Deep freight terminal 

Green city Joburg has one of the world’s largest urban forests, 

with around six million trees 

Elevation More than 1 700m above sea level, so water boils

Tipping 

Apart from the usual recipients, such as restaurant servers 

and petrol attendants, there’s a plethora of people waiting 

for (and depending on) a tip: baggage handlers, car guards, 

city-council workers, security guards, beggars, newspaper 

sellers and roadside salespeople. Most will happily accept 

a few rand (small coins might be sniffed at). For good 

service at restaurants, 10% of the bill is the minimum, and 

expect to dole out between R5 and R10 to petrol attendants. 

Alcohol 

South Africa is a paradise for wine lovers. It has countless 

wine producers and brands, and the bottles you will fi nd 

in stores and supermarkets are more than affordable, 

especially compared with European prices. Wine can be 

bought in supermarkets and ‘bottle stores’, and local and 

imported beers and spirits only at bottle stores. A wide 

variety of local beers are produced by South African 

Breweries, and there is an established craft-beer industry. 

Electricity 

Electricity is supplied at 220 volts and 50 hertz throughout 

South Africa by the state-owned company Eskom, and 

is subject to occasional shortages. Valuable electronics 

should be used in combination with a surge protector, 

available at large supermarkets, where you can also fi nd 

converters for the bulky three-pronged plugs used locally. 

Medical and dental emergencies 

Joburg has many world-class private hospitals that offer 

specialist care, but they can be pricey. Take your passport or 

identity document and any medical insurance information with 

you when you visit. The casualty departments/emergency 

rooms at private hospitals are open around the clock.

Why Tshwane? 

Why come to Tshwane? 

Tshwane 

Tshwane CBD 

Welcome to Tshwane, the heartbeat of South Africa. The city is 

named after Chief Tshwane. Tshwane means ‘We are all the same’ in 

Setswana, one of the country’s 11 offi cial languages. 

The new Tshwane is the single largest metropolitan municipality 

in South Africa, covering an area of 6 368 km². It has 105 wards, 210 

councillors and about 2.5 million residents, and is divided into seven 

regions. Tshwane is now also the third largest city in the world in terms 

of land mass, after New York and Tokyo/Yokohama. 

Tshwane is a progressive city that harmoniously blends its African 

roots with European traditions. An interesting blend of neoclassic, 

Victorian-colonial, modern and African architectural design features 

gives Tshwane a cosmopolitan character. The city is indeed a meeting 

place of many cultures. Many historic buildings, monuments and 

museums tell the story of a colourful and often turbulent past. 

Being the home of 132 foreign embassies and missions, as well as 

housing all of the national government departments, this destination is 

ideally geared and best situated to meet the needs of visitors. 

The city, as the hub for science and technology, knowledge, and 

industry, receives a high number of national and international delegations 

and hosts various conferences and conventions related to these sectors. 

City of Tshwane is the largest metropolitan municipality in South 

Africa and the third-largest city in the world in terms of land mass, 

after New York and Tokyo/Yokohama. 

It is home to 134 embassies and is therefore a world-renowned meeting 

place of diplomats, government offi cials and business people, and a 

cultural melting pot of the world. 

134 

EMBASSIES 

It is the knowledge capital of the continent, with its high concentration of 

academics, learning institutions, researchers and scientists. 

Tshwane is the only city in the world with a Big 5 game reserve within 

its boundaries. 

The region is affectionately known as the Home of Jazz, with one of its 

largest townships named Mamelodi, which means ‘Mother of Melodies’.

Why West Rand? 

Why come to West Rand? 

West Rand 

The West Rand District Municipality (WRDM) comprises four local 

municipalities, namely Randfontein, Mogale City, Westonaria and 

Merafong City. 

The West Rand, situated on the western side of Gauteng, stretches 

from the Magaliesberg mountain range in the north, to the N12 in the 

south, and along the meandering Crocodile River. The region is well 

serviced with resorts and activities that cater for visitors looking for 

tranquility or adventure. The West Rand is less than 45 minutes’ drive 

along excellent highways from Sandton (N1), Pretoria (N14/R28) and 

Johannesburg. It is also close to international and local airports. 

The West Rand’s heritage, dating back millions of years, attracts 

visitors from across the globe. The unspoilt wilderness is protected 

by legislation and is carefully managed to preserve both historic and 

ecological legacies. The Witwatersrand “Ridge of White Waters” is 

1 760m above sea level. The area provides the largest inland water 

system in South Africa with rain water fl owing into both the Indian and 

Atlantic oceans. 

The Witwatersrand Sequence is a combination of gold-bearing 

quartzite and shale. Two of the earliest gold mines in South Africa can 

be visited at Kromdraai and Magaliesburg, where guided tours reveal the 

lives of these early pioneers. 

Soft dolomite has led to the earliest evidence of the discovery of man, 

and to the declaration of the Cradle of Humankind as a World Heritage 

Site. It is a 47 000 hectare area about 45km north-west of Johannesburg. 

Fossil fi ndings throw light onto early human ancestors and their relatives, 

dating back more than 3.4 million years. The Sterkfontein excavation 

has been active since 1966, making it the world’s longest sustained 

palaeoanthropological excavation. 

West Rand 

The West Rand forms part of the Cradle of Humankind, a Unesco World Heritage Site, where evidence of hominid 

habitation has been documented stretching back some two million years. A trip to Maropeng, the visitor centre 

for the Cradle of Humankind is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the origins of human beings through 

their self-guided exhibition. The area has produced a wealth of fossil remains, including those of Australopithecus 

sediba, while a tour of the famous Sterkfontein Caves makes for a memorable family excursion. 

Gold mining on the West Rand began in 1933 with the discovery of the carbon leader reef. 

Western Deep is the world’s deepest mining shaft, plunging some 3.6km into the earth. Guided 

tours of two of South Africa’s gold mines at Kromdraai and Magaliesburg are both geologically 

and historically informative.

EARTH 

Birdwatchers are sure to add a few interesting bird sightings to their lists, and the more 

adventurous visitors will revel in a hot air balloon ride, microlighting adventure, fl y-fi shing 

or rock-climbing expedition. 

Hiking and horse-riding trails are also in abundance, and there are stretches of off-road land 

for quad-biking and cycling. 

Lanseria International Airport offers an alternative point of entry to the 

West Rand, which also has a stunning casino.
