About this place
Ekurhuleni, meaning 'place of peace,' forms the eastern part of Gauteng and the wider Johannesburg metropolitan area. It's a large, diverse municipality encompassing established suburbs like Edenvale and Bedfordview, the major transport hub of Kempton Park, and the vast township of Thembisa. As home to O.R. Tambo International Airport, it serves as the primary gateway for most international visitors to South Africa. Beyond the airport, it functions as a significant logistics and commercial zone, crisscrossed by major national highways, making it a well-connected and practical starting point for exploring the wider region.
