Johannesburg houses the Constitutional Court, is the source of a large-scale gold and diamond trade and the International Airport is the largest and busiest airport in Africa. Jo'burg has no distinctly gay area and venues are scattered from downtown, into the suburbs in and around Jozi. Public cruising had become extremely dangerous and were largely replaced by safe cruising venues and the internet. Travel with locals if possible and do not display yourself as being a tourist or openly expose your wealth.
