GENERAL INFORMATION
ABOUT Johannesburg
The city was established in 1886 following the discovery of gold on what had been a farm. Due to the extremely large gold deposit found along the Witwatersrand, within ten years, the population had grown to 100,000 inhabitants.
A separate city from the late 1970s until 1994, Soweto is now part of Johannesburg. Originally an acronym for "South-Western Townships", Soweto originated as a collection of settlements on the outskirts of Johannesburg, populated mostly by native African workers from the gold mining industry. Soweto, although eventually incorporated into Johannesburg, had been separated as a residential area for blacks only (no whites allowed), who were not permitted to live in other White designated suburbs of Johannesburg. Lenasia is predominantly populated by English-speaking South Africans of Indian descent. These areas were designated as non-white areas in accordance with the segregationist policies of the South African government known as apartheid.

Food Options for Conference Delegates
Food and entertainment opportunities in Johannesburg are endless. Explore some of the best restaurants the city has to offer:
Ba-Pita specialises in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean street food: kebabs, shwarmas, laffas (stuffed and rolled flatbreads) with all the trimmings, hummus, tzatziki, falafel and an array of grain- and legume-based salads packed with nuts and herbs.
You’re greeted by a big chalkboard menu behind the serving counter, filled with staples like nachos, tacos, quesadillas, and a selection of other specialities. You’ll also notice the chef chopping up fresh ingredients in the open kitchen, using the same traditional cooking methods she used to use in the food market stalls of Johannesburg, where this eatery has its origins.
The menu here focuses on what the little people will eat, from make-your-own pizza to mini fish and chips, though grown-ups aren’t left out.
Breezeblock is all about brunch and sports an all-day breakfast menu. This includes beans and bangers, made with free-range pork sausage, grilled and packed with herby flavour, on a bed of south Indian-style curried beans, and served with your choice of bread.

Johannesburg Attractions for Convention Attendees
South Africa's largest city, Johannesburg, is home to the country's main international airport, and often serves as the gateway for most travelers visiting this southernmost country in Africa. Guided tours offer much to learn about South Africa's often-tumultuous history: Take in a history lesson at the acclaimed Apartheid Museum (followed by a bike tour of the nearby Soweto township); visit the former cell of Nelson Mandela in the Old Fort prison on Constitution Hill; or dig into the cultural history of Johannesburg at Museum Africa. For a stunning view of the cityscape, head to the top of Africa's tallest building, the Carlton Centre; or take a trip back in time to the UNESCO-listed Cradle of Humankind, a short 16 miles (25 kilometers) from the city and easily reached with a full-day tour. For a thrilling day trip, visit the enormous Kruger National Park for a safari tour in search of some of Africa's “Big Five” wildlife. Follow it up with a stop at nearby Pretoria to see the famous Jacaranda trees in bloom, and then continue to Pilanesberg Game Reserve or Sun City resort. Johannesburg is the ideal jumping-off point for further exploration in southern Africa, with regular flights to Cape Town, Durban, and even Botswana.
