60 Most Famous Cities in South Africa on a Map

The designation of famous cities is primarily based on the page view statistics of Wikipedia and mention rates of cityquiz.io.

In Gauteng Province, many formerly independent cities have been integrated into three Metropolitan Municipalities: Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni, and Tshwane. Ekurhuleni, lacking a dominant central city, is sometimes considered part of the Greater Johannesburg area in various data sources. Due to this complex administrative relationship, some data sources list these formerly independent cities individually, while others do not. All of these cities are marked with red dots on the map.

The village marked in blue is the birthplace of the most famous president of South Africa.
