Johannesburg (also called Joburg or Jozi) is the largest city in South Africa and the economic powerhouse of the African continent's most industrialized nation. It operates on South Africa Standard Time (SAST, UTC+2), a fixed offset with no Daylight Saving Time. Johannesburg was founded in 1886 after gold was discovered in the Witwatersrand area, triggering the world's largest gold rush. Today, the city hosts the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), the largest stock exchange in Africa. The greater Johannesburg metropolitan area, known as Gauteng, contributes approximately 16% of all of Africa's GDP. Soweto (South Western Townships), a suburb of Johannesburg, was the epicenter of the anti-apartheid movement and home to both Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. The Constitutional Court of South Africa, which ended apartheid, is located here.
