Touring the capital city of Gauteng,Johannesburg.

Johannesburg is the capital of Gauteng province, while its northern neighbour Pretoria is the capital of South Africa. Johannesburg – known as Joburg or Jozi – is the biggest city in South Africa, and often compared to Los Angeles, with a similar urban sprawl linked by huge highway interchanges.

This video speaks about a tourist who is vising different places in the Gauteng capital city Johannesburg he also speaks about different cultures, music, food and the history of this beautiful city.as he visits Lesedi cultural house he got welcomed by six different tribes  singing and dancing giving him the experience of Monate Wa Gauteng.

The picture shown in this video is the famous stadium in the city of Johannesburg which is shaped as a calabash.The stadium has been officially known as FNB Stadium since it was opened in 1989. This was due to a naming rights deal with First National Bank. During the 2010 FIFA World Cup, as well as in the month before the tournament, the stadium was referred to as Soccer City. This was done as FIFA does not allow stadiums to be referred to by sponsored names during FIFA-sanctioned tournaments. The stadium’s current name is FNB Stadium.

A braai is a social occasion that has specific traditions and social norms. In black and white South African culture, women rarely braai (cook) meat at a social gathering, as this is normally the preserve of men. The men gather round the braai or braaistand (the fire or grill) outdoors and cook the food, while women prepare the pap, salads, desserts, and vegetables for the meal in the kitchen. The meal is subsequently eaten outside by the fire/braai, since the activity is normally engaged in during the long summer months.
