Randburg, Gauteng Province, South Africa

🇿🇦 Randburg is an upmarket area located in the Gauteng province of South Africa. Formerly a separate municipality, its administration devolved to the newly created City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality, along with neighbouring Sandton and Roodepoort, in the late 1990s. During the transitional period of 1996–2000, Randburg was part of the Northern Metropolitan Local Council. The municipal area of Randburg contains numerous suburbs; many of these are residential. Some larger areas include: • Aldara Park • Blairgowrie • Bordeaux • Boskruin • Bromhof • Cresta • Darrenwood • Fairlands • Ferndale • Jukskei Park • Kensington 'B' • Malanshof • Northriding • Northwold • Olivedale • Randpark Ridge • Robindale • Robin Hills • Windsor East • Windsor West.

Economy Multichoice and its associated companies, M-Net and SuperSport, have their head offices in Randburg. The central business district of Randburg had fallen into decay starting in the 1990s, and plans were made to revive the CBD by the Johannesburg municipality. Strijdom Park is a well developed commercial/light industrial area in Randburg, wedged between the N1 Western Bypass and Malibongwe Drive. Strijdom park has a substantial auto sales and repair industry and has several other small industries that service the whole of northern Johannesburg. Randburg has faced competition from Sandton which is normally the preferred location for businesses but offers lower rentals and property prices whilst providing easy transportation to the west and central Johannesburg. There are future plans to connect Randburg onto the Gautrain routes.
