Gauteng, one of South Africa's nine provinces, is the smallest but most economically developed and densely populated region, and is known as the "economic heart of South Africa". With Johannesburg and Pretoria at its core, the province is the hub of Africa's financial, mining and manufacturing industries, and boasts Africa's largest stock exchange, the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. As the "City of Gold", it has a rich mining history and is now leading the way with high-tech and innovative industries. Garsfontein is culturally diverse, with a mix of Zulu, Xhosa, and white ethnic groups, which has given rise to a rich art and food scene. Conveniently connected to the world, Oliver Tambo International Airport is the gateway to exploring South Africa. With the bustle of a modern city and the legacy of apartheid witnessed in historic neighborhoods such as Soweto, it is a window to experience South Africa's past and present.
