Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Johannesburg accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Johannesburg and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"I have found Johannesburg to be extremely culturally and racially diverse........and economically as well. There are a lot of very wealthy people and there are a lot of very impoverished people. It's an interesting dichotomy. I have found most people to be accepting of me. Having said that, there is still an undercurrent of the old apartheid feelings. Remember that SA is still a very young democracy.....only 12 years.......so, there are still a lot of feelings, good and bad," remarked another expat who made the move to Johannesburg, South Africa.
"Johannesburg is a city of great diversity. It is home to people of many different ethnicities, religions, and cultures. People in Johannesburg are generally accepting of differences and celebrate the diversity of the city. There are many cultural events and festivals that bring people together to celebrate their differences," explained one expat living in Johannesburg, South Africa.
