OR Tambo & Surrounds
One of the youngest of the world’s major cities, Johannesburg was founded in 1886, following the discovery of gold. The city was initially part of the Transvaal, an independent Afrikaner, or Boer, republic that later became one of the four provinces of South Africa. Today the city is a part of Gauteng (a Sotho word meaning “Place of Gold”), one of the nine provinces of South Africa.
The Birchwood Hotel & OR Tambo Conference Centre is located in the Kempton Park region of Johannesburg near to OR Tambo Airport. This venue has conference venues that can accommodate up to 1500 delegates.
