Yes, there are people to meet across Gauteng. More than 2,000 members list Johannesburg as home on LetsMeetUp and more than 1,000 list Pretoria, and members are listed by area right across the province.
Johannesburg
Johannesburg is the biggest pool in the country, and the age mix is tight: about two thirds of members are between 25 and 44.
Those figures are for the city itself. The areas around it, from Randburg and Roodepoort to Lenasia, are listed separately, so a search for the town you actually live in will show different people from a search for Johannesburg.
Pretoria
More than 1,000 members list Pretoria, and the mix is even more concentrated than in Johannesburg: about seven in ten are between 25 and 44. Sunnyside and Atteridgeville have their own pages as well, and Centurion sits between the two cities.
Areas with their own pages
Gauteng has more separate places on the site than any other province, and many of them have their own browse page, from Tembisa and Alexandra to Sebokeng, Evaton, Kwathema and Tsakane. Lenasia has more than 200 members, and more than half of them are under 35.
If your area is not named, set the nearest one and read each profile's location before you write.
