That's not relevant though - unlike anywhere in Nigeria or Pakistan, Johannesburg is a predominantly English-speaking city. Sort of like how Montreal is a predominantly French-speaking city even if Canada is not.

Just for fun though, if we were to make a list of all the cities in which English is an official language, it'd go something like this:

1. New Delhi
2. Manila
3. Mumbai
4. New York
5. Lagos
6. Los Angeles
7. Karachi
8. Kolkata
9. London
10. Lahore
11. Johannesburg
