Midrand in the Johannesburg Region of Gauteng, South Africa
Midrand, a relatively modern city situated in the Gauteng province, has experienced much growth in the last decade. Many businesses have relocated to Midrand due to its proximity to good highway links and its location in the economic centre of Gauteng Province. Midrand's development has meant there is little break between the outskirts of Johannesburg and those of Pretoria, and the Gauteng Provincial Government envisages that, according to current growth trends, much of the province will be city by 2015.

Midrand is the location of the African Union's Pan-African Parliament and is home to large-scale industries such as textiles and motor vehicles, it is a superbly located business venue. Midrand includes the Boulders Shopping Centre and the Gallagher Estate, where there is a large exhibition centre. Midrand Airport is a general aviation airport and is situated to the East of the N1 highway. The western suburbs of Midrand are all agricultural and constitute the highest equestrian area of South Africa. The more central suburbs of the area host the headquarters of many large technology and medical companies.
