Introduction  Thank you for the invitation to address one of your series of breakfast meetings, coming as it does only a couple of weeks after the last of a number of memorable and spectacular events marking the Centenary Celebrations of the Country Club Johannesburg.

History of the city  It appears that there is no consensus among the historians about who gave this city the name Johannesburg.
