The Most Populated City in South Africa: Johannesburg

Johannesburg is the most populated city in South Africa largely due to its historical significance and economic prospects. As the center of the gold mining industry, Johannesburg attracted a large influx of migrants seeking employment opportunities during the gold rush. This rapid urbanization and industrialization resulted in substantial population growth, making Johannesburg the largest city in South Africa. The city's diverse economy and vibrant culture continue to attract people from all over the country, further contributing to its population.
