Review:

When Johannesburg – or as it’s known by locals, Joburg or Jozi – was first founded in the 19th century. At the time, it was a small gold mining town, but today it is one of the largest cities in the country. This historic city was once home to notable figures such as Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela, whose former home is now the location of the Mandela House Museum. This diverse city has many attractions, including the African Flea Market, the Soweto Theatre, and Croc City Crocodile and Reptile Park. The city is also home to the Apartheid Museum, which chronicles the history of segregation in South Africa, and Constitution Hill, which was once a prison complex.
