The City of Johannesburg has raised the bar.
The City of Gold was recently named the country’s most environment-friendly metropolitan municipality in the Department of Environmental Affairs’ fourth Greenest Municipality competition.
Another accolade, which the city has received, includes being named one of the 50 places to travel to in 2015 by leading New York based magazine, Travel and Leisure.
According to Travel and Leisure’s description of the city, the City of Gold is ambitious and energetic, “Jozi relies less on natural assets and more on the clout of cash – this is where the money is made”.
Late last year, Johannesburg was ranked by MasterCard Global Destination Cities Index as the most-visited city in Africa for the second year running.
In the same month, another United States magazine, Good, ranked Johannesburg as the second most inspiring city in the world, after Hong Kong.
Travelstart also named it one of the 15 best cities to live in on the continent.
