Find a job in South Africa’s mega city
ABC Joburg is a sister company of ABC Worldwide. Based in Sandton, the team of recruiters is focused on candidates and roles in and around Johannesburg.
The City of Gold
Johannesburg is a centre of mining, manufacturing, and finance. All the mining houses are headquartered in the city, as is the Chamber of Mines, which regulates the industry. Local factories in Johannesburg and on the East Rand produce a great variety of goods ranging from textiles to specialty steels. A substantial engineering sector serves the needs of the mining industry. Virtually all the country’s banks, insurance companies, and building societies have their head offices in the city. The Johannesburg Stock Exchange, founded in 1887 to raise capital for deep-level mining, lists more than 600 companies.
While Pretoria, the South African capital, is only 40 miles to the north, most state ministries have offices in Johannesburg. Many foreign countries retain consular facilities, largely to service the needs of overseas firms, hundreds of which operate in the city.
