'''Johannesburg''' ({{IPA-en|dʒoʊˈhænɪsbɜrɡ|lang}}, {{IPA-nl|joˈhɑnəsbʏrx|langaf}}) forbye kent as '''Jozi''', '''Jo'burg''' or '''eGoli''', is the mucklest ceety in [[Sooth Africae]]. Johannesburg is the [[province|provincial]] [[Caipital ceety|caipital]] o [[Gauteng]], the weelthiest province in Sooth Africae, haein the mucklest economy o ony metropolitan region in [[Sub-Saharan Africae]]. The ceety is ane o the 40 mucklest [[metropolitan aurie]]s in the warld,<ref>{{cite web|author=&Copy; Th. Brinkhoff |url=http://www.citypopulation.de/world/Agglomerations.html |title=Principal Agglomerations of the World |publisher=Citypopulation.de |date=2010-01-23 |accessdate=2010-07-02}}</ref> an is the warld's mucklest ceety that isna situatit on a river, loch, or coastline.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.southafrica.to/provinces/Gauteng/towns/Johannesburg/Johannesburg.htm |title=Johannesburg |publisher=Southafrica.to |date= |accessdate=2010-07-02}}</ref>

While Johannesburg isnae offeecially ane o [[Subdiveesions o Sooth Africae|Sooth Africae's three caipital ceeties]], it does hoose the [[Constitutional Court o Sooth Africae|Constitutional Court]] Sooth Africae's heichest court. The ceety is the source o a muckle-scale [[gowd]] an [[diamond]] [[trade]], due tae its location on the [[mineral]]-rich [[Witwatersrand]] range o braes. Johannesburg is served bi [[O.R. Tambo Internaitional Airport]], the mucklest an busiest [[airport]] in Africae an a gateway for internaitional air travel tae an frae the rest o [[soothren Africae]].  Mair recently, [[Lanseria Internaitional Airport]] haes stairtit internaitional flichts an is situatit conveniently on the conter side o the metropolis.

Accordin tae the 2007 Community Survey, the population o the municipal ceety wis 3,888,180 an the population o the [[Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area]] wis 7,151,447. A braider definition o the Johannesburg [[metropolitan aurie]], includin [[Ekhuruleni]], the [[Wast Rand]], [[Soweto]] an [[Lenasia]], haes a population o 10,267,700. The municipal ceety's land aurie o 1,645 km2 (635 sq mi) is vera muckle whan compared tae ither ceeties, resultin in a moderate [[population density]] o 2,364 /km2 (6,120 /sq mi).

Johannesburg includes [[Soweto]], that wis a separate ceety frae the late 1970s til the 1990s. Oreeginally an acronym for "SOuth-WEstern TOwnships", Soweto oreeginatit as a collection o settlements outby fae Johannesburg populatit maistly bi native African wirkers in the gowd minin industry. Eventually incorporatit intae Johannesburg, the [[apartheid]] regime (in pouer 1949–1994) separatit Soweto frae the rest o Johannesburg for tae mak it a complete Black aurie. [[Lenasie]] is nou pairt o Johannesburg an aw an is an aurie predominantly populatit bi those o Indian ethnicity syne the apartheid era.

[[Gauteng]] is grawin rapidly due tae mass urbanisation that is a feature o mony [[developin kintra]]s. Accordin tae the State o the Ceeties Report, the urban portion o Gauteng comprisin primarily the ceeties o Johannesburg, [[Ekurhuleni]] (the [[East Rand]]) an [[Tshwane]] (greater [[Pretoria]]) will be a [[Conurbation|polycentric urban region]] wi a projectit population o some 14.6 million fowk bi 2015.
