Tourist information

Midrand is a located in the Johannesburg metropolis in Gauteng, South Africa. Midrand falls in Region 2 of Johannesburg's administrative region plan and was built around the N1 highway. It is identified as one of the 8 tourism nodes in the Johannesburg area and home to large-scale industries such as textiles and motor vehicles.

Midrand is relatively modern and has experienced a great deal of growth in the last decade. Many businesses have relocated to Midrand due to its proximity to excellent highway links and its location in the economic centre of Gauteng Province. Midrand's large development has meant there is little break between the outskirts of Johannesburg and those of Pretoria. Therefore, the Gauteng Provincial Government envisages that, if current growth trends continue, much of the province will be city by 2015. Midrand is, therefore, an accurate reflection of the current economic expansion of Gauteng.
