Gauteng is the financial and economic hub of South Africa, with a population of just short of 10 million people and still growing, it contributes a staggering 58 % of South Africa's overall Annual Gross Domestic Product.

Gauteng can also be described as one of the African Continents power houses, when considering the size of the city which occupies a minuscule 1.4% of South Africa's land area it seems almost unreal that its GDP alone contributes to roughly 35% of the entire African continent collectively.
