  Johannesburg or the City of Gold, as the city is known in South Africa, is the business hub of South Africa, contributing a substantial part of the country's GDP approximately 12%. The City is home to two of the country's most popular football teams and historical arch-rivals, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates. Johannesburg is also known as the economic engine of Southern Africa and the trendsetter of South Africa. It is a melting pot laced with all the flavours of African cultures and beyond.

  约翰内斯堡在南非被称作黄金城,是南非的商业中心,在全国的经济地位举足轻重,其生产总值约占国内生产总值的12%。约翰内斯堡是国内最著名的两支球队-凯泽酋长与奥兰多海盗的所在城市,同时这两支球队也是历史上的夙敌。约翰内斯堡也被称作是南非的经济的发动机和领头羊。它是个社会大熔炉,融合了非洲国家以及世界各国的文化特色。
