Don't understand why you saying Apartheid has affected the city. If wasn't for Apartheid Johannesburg would not be a world class city but like any other african city.
It was Apartheid that lead to its deprivation. Had South Africa been multicultural from the beginning it may have been more prosperous. Racism is not a factor for economic growth.
@1bosnia1 If there had been no Apartheid,South Africa wouldn't have the great country that it once was. Now South Africa is one of the worst country's because of the corruption that the current government is involved in.
Unfortunately all the glossy paint and new business/stadium developments in the world won't do anything to lower the crime levels...
For any tourists looking to visit Jo'burg for the World Cup, seriously, stay the hell away from the CBD. Stick to Sandton, Rivonia or Randburg instead unless you're particularly brave/want to see the "real" Johannesburg. Take a drive past Alexandra or Soweto on the highway if you have to.
It's a great and varied city, but joking aside, keep your wits about you.
