Randburg is a district in the northwest of Johannesburg rather than a separate city, absorbed into the wider municipality. It is largely suburban and commercial, with a media and broadcasting cluster and several shopping centres.
The district is residential and commercial rather than a destination. Johannesburg's major sites, including the Apartheid Museum and Constitution Hill, lie to the southeast, and the Cradle of Humankind fossil caves are to the west.
A car is effectively necessary, as the district is spread out and public transport is limited. The motorway network connects across the city and to Pretoria.
The highveld has warm, thunderstorm-prone summers and dry, sunny winters with cold nights. The dry winter months are the most settled for travel around the region.
South Africa uses the ZAR, calling code +27.
