The bronze statue of Mandela Johannesburg, South Africa, is the largest city in South Africa and a metropolis built by gold mining. One day in 1886, George Harry, a white man, was walking on a farm in the north of Johannesburg, and he tripped over a stone that was exposed from the ground. It was a gold nugget. As a result, gold diggers from all over the world came here to search for gold. With more and more gold prospectors, this place has become a densely populated settlement. At that time, South Africa * * * and China * * * sent personnel to patrol here to find a place to establish a town. At that time, two people were sent to perform this task, one was a Dutch immigrant named Johann Rissik, and the other was a Boer named Christiaan Johannes Joubert. It is said that the established city was named after their names Johann and Johannes, and the suffix burg, which means "city and town", was added, so today's Johanne *** urg was created. George Harrison, who discovered the gold nugget, rushed to Pretoria as usual after ecstasy to report this discovery to the official management department, and obtained the "ownership certificate of gold discoverer" which can enjoy tax-free treatment. But Harrison himself didn't have the funds needed to develop the gold mine at all, and he finally sold his ownership to others at a very low price. Today, his statue stands beside Highway 24 from Johannesburg International Airport to downtown.
