Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality

Ekurhuleni, meaning Place of Peace, is one of six regions within the Gauteng Province. This is where most visitors start their South African journey as it is home to Africa’s most modern airport – Johannesburg International. This makes Ekurhuleni the gateway to Africa and a perfect link to the rest of South Africa’s natural and historical splendour.

Ekurhuleni is a culturally diverse region with over 2,5 million residents who represent a homogenous and cosmopolitan blend of all South Africa’s cultures. It is a place of diversity – of energetic commerce, but also nature is nurtured and protected to provide visitors with dramatic examples of Africa’s flora and fauna. 

The region also offers visitors a wealth of eco-tourism, arts, culture, entertainment and outdoor sports and activities. Many major attractions are within a short drive by car or bus and can be visited before and after the Conference.
