Anyone who is in the process of considering a move to Johannesburg, should be aware of the traffic congestion in the city as well as the high levels of air and sound pollution. Although, overpopulated, the city has a vibrant social atmosphere that would allow anyone to meet new people and fit in quickly.

Johannesburg, the city of queens and kings, is a beautiful city that is always lively and bursting with activity. The streets of my city are graced with modern and a few other stone buildings that serve as a reminder and remainder of what is our history. If you consider noise as a form of pollution then that will not be a problem in my city because the blends from the traffic, voices and and the occasional train bells is music to the ears.

My city is dirty and overpopulated. They are a lot of vendors in my city, coming from different parts of Africa. There is also a lot of crime, considering the high unemployment rate. People are doing the best they can to survive and stay safe. Women in particular, have to be more vigilant since gender based violence is at a peek.

Johannesburg is the city of Gold. Johannesburg gained its nickname due to the plenty of Gold mines that were discovered back in the olden days. However, this city is not all glitz and glam like it used to be. The state of m city seems to be deteriorating with each day that passes. We have a land and air pollution problem that needs serious attention.

Johannesburg is quite loud, so people who want to move here should consider their peace before relocating. Although it’s considered to be the most resourceful city, it’s also one of the cities with the highest unemployment rate. When moving one should also consider their environment and land, this city is full of pollution.

There is a high crime rate. They must be always be alert to danger. Food is cheap. There is noise pollution. The area is also dirty. Too many scammers in the area. You must not walk around at night. Never roam around when it is dark. There are thieves that may break into your apartment.

Johannesburg is a dangerous city. Many petty crimes occur however the people are friendly, the food is good and there is never a dull moment in this fast-paced city. Their is quite a bit of air pollution however I live in the suburbs where everything is green and the air is fresh. I adore this city.

Johannesburg is a very crowded place. Having a car is a great advantage. It has a high crime rate. It has great places one can visit with their family, it has a great number of holiday destination. It has a high number of languages than any other province in South Africa. It has great sanitation.

The city is the biggest in the world consisting of the tallest building in Africa and has both the bad and the good parts of the city. It is overpopulated and has many people in the streets which some are trying to make a living by recycling used materials.
