FLICKR ALBUM: South Africa


Johannesburg, also known as eGoli, is the most populous city in South Africa. The city is affectionately known as Jo'burg, Jozi and JHB by South Africans.

Johannesburg is the site of a large-scale gold and diamond trade due to its location on the mineral-rich Witwatersrand Hills.

SPORTS

The newly-reconstructed Soccer City Stadium will host the first and final matches of the 2010 World Cup. The ground's design is inspired by the iconic African pot known as the calabash, and its aesthetic appeal will be heightened when the stadium is lit at night. Soccer City is located in Johannesburg's southwest and is only a short distance from Soweto, home to 40 percent of Johannesburg's population.

Rugby fans - Ellis Park Stadium (capacity 60,000) is the home ground for Lions.


VISITING?

TRANSPORTATION -- Johannesburg is served by Johannesburg International Airport (code: JNB), the largest and busiest airport on the continent and a gateway for international air travel to and from the rest of southern Africa.
