Gauteng
is the most urbanized province in South Africa and the economic
heartland of the country. However there are 39,000 farm workers
in the province and many people living in peri-urban areas with
insecure tenure. Many people in Gauteng maintain strong ties with
rural areas as they have come their to find work, but still have
families in rural parts of the country. Nkuzis experience
has been that conditions for most people on farms in the Gauteng
are as bad as those in the Limpopo Province.
Gauteng
has 28.2% unemployment according to government figures. It has large
mining, manufacturing and service industries.
