About Midrand

Midrand takes its name from its position roughly midway between Johannesburg and Pretoria, a location that turned it into one of Gauteng's busiest business corridors, lined with corporate campuses, the Vodacom and MTN head offices, and logistics parks. The Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, which once hosted Formula 1 races and still runs major motoring and karting events, is one of its best-known landmarks. Large mixed-use developments such as Steyn City and Waterfall City have reshaped the area in recent years, adding residential estates, retail and green space to what was originally farmland. Its position on the N1 highway between South Africa's two biggest metros keeps it central to Gauteng's ongoing urban sprawl.

Midrand's spring calendar leans corporate this stretch, opening with the Kyalami BUSINESS NETWORK at Doppio Zero Kyalami Corner. PwC South Africa hosts the Blockchain Africa Conference 2026 | Ready for Business, while the Gallagher Convention Centre welcomes industry visitors for Cleantex Africa 2026. Dance fans can join Hip-Hop Step Aerobics with Trey 80s Theme | Midrand at Kabelo's Dance Academy, and live music rounds out the week with KobexShaun Live Mix in Glen Austin.
