Johannesburg South covers the broad band of suburbs south of the CBD — quieter, less congested and generally more affordable than the northern suburbs, with the Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve giving the area genuine green space most northern suburbs can’t match. This page covers Johannesburg South generally; its best-known named suburbs each have their own page.
A quieter side of the city, built around a nature reserve
Turffontein Racecourse, established in 1887 and South Africa’s oldest active racecourse, anchors the area’s identity — home to the Summer Cup and SA Derby, with a dam that doubles as a bird sanctuary. The Klipriviersberg Municipal Nature Reserve runs along much of the southern suburbs’ western edge, offering hiking and genuine wilderness within the city. Traffic in Johannesburg South is consistently lighter than the northern suburbs, a real practical draw for professionals commuting into the CBD.
DStv installation in Johannesburg South
Johannesburg South’s mostly free-standing homes get a standard single-view install — 60cm dish, Smart LNB, RG6 cabling — with mounting checked against each property’s specific layout. Complex and townhouse developments follow the usual body-corporate coordination.
Signal repairs, Extra View and equipment
Johannesburg South follows the standard Highveld rain-fade pattern, with ageing infrastructure on established properties the most common cause of gradual signal decline. Standard equipment is a 60cm dish and Smart LNB with RG6 cabling.
