The City of Ekurhuleni is found in the heart of the Gauteng province in South Africa, and set to be the first Aerotropolis in Africa. Spread over 15.6% of Gauteng’s land, it houses 5.4% of the country’s population and 29% of Gauteng province’s population. Pronounced ‘e-koo-roo-le-ni’, Ekurhuleni is a Tsonga (one of the 11 official languages of South Africa) word meaning ‘place of peace’. The choice of a Tsonga word for the name of the metropolitan municipality is symbolic of the diversity of the new city, and of its vision of an equitable and progressive community. In 2013, the City of Ekurhuleni adopted its Growth and Development Strategy 2055. This GDS 2055 gave the City structure and vision for the years ahead.
