The place itemised in the 1996 census, defined as the MLC's constituting the GJMC (i.e. Northern, Eastern, Western and Southern Johannesburg MLC's) plus Kempton Park/Tembisa MLC, Edenvale/Modderfontein MLC and Midrand/Rabie Ridge/Ivory Park.[8] As of 2017[update] the name "Greater Johannesburg" has not been used in any subsequent census.[9][10]
The Johannesburg
conurbation which includes Johannesburg and the areas of the
East Rand, area under the
Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality and the
West Rand. It is often referred to as the Witwatersrand, or Rand, after a low mountain range that runs through the area. Greater Johannesburg's growth was largely based initially on the discovery of gold, and the urban area runs the length of the gold-bearing reef from east to west. The case for including the East and West Rand in Johannesburg, as well as
Soweto, is based on a number of factors:
Roodepoort, always traditionally part of the
West Rand, was incorporated into the
City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality in 2000, while
Soweto, always regarded as Johannesburg's sister city or major township during
Apartheid, was administered as part of the West Rand in the past.
Residents from both the East and the West Rand often work in Johannesburg.
The areas are not only strongly linked economically, but existing transport axes have also created strong functional links between Johannesburg and its hinterland.
Vehicles of the Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD) and the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD) are identical in design, but JMPDs are orange and EMPDs are yellow. The JMPD and EMPD sometimes carry out joint operations.
Transport routes between Johannesburg, East and West Rand share the same
metropolitan route numbering system.
