Place in Gauteng, South Africa
Bryanston is an affluent residential suburb of Sandton, Gauteng, South Africa to the north of Johannesburg. First named as an area in 1949, it was established in 1969 as a suburb of Sandton and provided with tarred roads and municipal services , but after municipal boundaries were revised following the end of Apartheid, Sandton was merged with Johannesburg to form part of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality. The multi-lane N1 (Johannesburg Western Bypass) freeway forms its northern boundary with access at the R511/M81 (Winnie Mandela Drive) off-ramp. It is located in Region E of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality.
The long-established Bryanston Country Club, founded in 1948, is in the heart of Bryanston.[2] Families with school aged children compose a large part of the Bryanston community due to the excellent private school system that is ranked as best in Gauteng.[citation needed]
