Recruitment agencies around Johannesburg work in the City of Gold. In popular discourse it is more affectionately known as Jozi. Before gold was discovered beneath a ridge of hills known as the ridge of white waters few people settled there. Hunters and gatherers came and went without realizing that they were walking over a vast treasure trove. After the discovery of gold in the nineteenth century employment opportunities proliferated and the momentum continues.

When fortune hunters arrived from around the world they brought energy and enterprise with them. The mining town exploded into one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world, a thriving, bustling city that is the capital of the province now known as Gauteng. People who live their seem to absorb go-getting attitudes. They speak brusquely, drive fast cars and are intent on income.

But not all people in Jozi are millionaires. For many years migrant workers have come in on trains, worked in mines and sent their earnings home to support families. In some cases they have stayed and become permanent residents, contributing to the expanding population and ...
... imbued with the same go-getting spirit of the neighbors.

Many of the gold mines are now worked out. Huge networks of tunnels beneath the ground are like empty ants' nests. Above them are dumps of the yellow sand that that has been mined out and millions of people going busily about business. Though most of the gold has gone the city hums with its own momentum generated by the energy of its people.

Unlike other urban giants Jozi is not a port or border town. With its gold gone it has no reason to exist except its population of energetic and enterprising people. They have become its golden resource. Their energy and activity generates the economic life that hums out from the city through a network of roads and routes into the rest of the country.

The population of gold miners and fortunes seekers has transformed from being exploiters of a non-renewable resource into a sustainable resource themselves. Financial experts, doctors lawyer entrepreneurs and many blue and white collar workers find it opportune to work at the center reaching out from there to remote corners of the country through a sophisticated network of communication channels.

In general it has at last dawned on economists that the richness of a culture is more important for economic growth than science and technology are. People who enjoy sport, like art and understand the need for environmental protection created demands. Technology seeks way to satisfy demand and so economies thrive.

Recruitment agencies around Johannesburg now search for people in almost all areas of endeavor. The wealth that has been created in the past has been used to build huge mansions and plant one of the biggest man-made urban forests in the world to shade the leisure hours of hard working people. There are jobs for landscapers, architects, textile manufacturers, software engineers, actors, bankers and doctors. Fortune hunters coming to this city even start their own original businesses creating new jobs and goods that add to the momentum.
