Accra: the Capital City’s History

2010-08-20T04:11:00.000-07:00

Accra is the capital city of Ghana and its named is derived from the word “Nkran” which means “ants”. It is interesting but peculiar at the same time that how can a big cosmopolitan be named after tiny insects. The city was name after ants because of the great number of anthills which existed around Accra. Nkran which is an Akan word explains that ants and the city somewhere had a strong association.

The people from Ga tribe were the first to settle in Accra. They migrated from their early settlement which was at Ayawaso. According to the Ga people, Accra was a perfect site for starting a new colonization as they never had an opportunity to flourish back in their original settlement due to their rivals, Akawamu people. At the beginning, Accra’s economy was not as prosperous as it should have been. It did not have a prominent trading center but the early settlers lived a better life. Ports at Prampram, Ada, Dodowa and Akusa were well-known in the region. Nonetheless, Accra became a popular slave trade center amongst the Europeans who has established forts near the city. These forts were Ussher Fort and James Fort. However, the area became a popular slave trade center until 1807 when the salve trade ended. By the end of 17th century, the city saw a great change as the foreigners include Danish, British, French, Dutch, Swedish and Portuguese settled and built forts in the town.

It was somewhere in 1850s when the Dutch vended their castles as well as Christiansborg to the British. The Asante people of central Ghana and the British never admired each other or supported each other. Tensions and conflicts did exist. Consequently, the British attacked and destroyed Kumasi which was the capital of Asante. Soon after invading the city, the British formerly declined Ghana a crown colony. Then the British plotted to capture Accra and so they did in the year 1874 and three years later it became the capital city after replacing Cape Coast.

In the year 1908, the decision of linking the both cities Accra and Kumasi with railway was set. This is said to be the most significant decisions made in the history of Accra. The capital city, Accra, which was the chief port during that era, was to be connected with the country’s main cocoa producing regions. It was the year 1923 when the railway was completed. One year later, Ghana became the largest exporter of cocoa.

In 1928, Accra saw a drastic change in its economy as it became the main exporter of cocoa. Another influential factor about the city was the good water pipeline system which, as a result, brought in many migrants. In the 20th century, the city saw development which strengthened its roots in Ghana making it one of the significant destinations. The city saw even more prosperity under the rule of Sir Frederick Gordon Guggisberg. He introduced several reforms, built bridge athwart the Korle Lagoon and established schools and hospitals. The city today provides a good living standard compelling a large number of migrants to board Accra flights.

Currently, Accra is one of the tourists’ destinations in Ghana. Some of the main attractions in the city include the National Museum of Ghana, the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Archives of Ghana and many more. Tourists who grab cheap flights to Accra also admire touring Ghana's central library, the National Theatre, Accra Centre for National Culture, a lighthouse and the National Sports Stadium.

Johannesburg; Past and Present

Johannesburg is the capital of the richest province of South Africa, Gauteng. It is one of the most affluent cities in the world and home to Africa’s largest stock exchange. Today, Johannesburg is ranked amongst world class cosmopolitan cities finely blending in many cultures and accepting mass migrations. Also, it is one of the largest metropolitan centers in the world. It is these characteristics that have led Johannesburg flights to become a competitive business for airlines around the world.

In the past, however, Johannesburg was never the way it is now. According to historical evidence, the region where now Johannesburg stands was first inhabited by the San Bushmen. These were hunter-gatherers who came to the region somewhere in 1200s. By the 18th century, a Bantu speaking tribal group known as Sotho-Tswana had abundant population in the region. Hence they took over the land but their rule did not last very long. However, the clan, Sotho-Tswana was a powerful one and its kingdom has spread all the way from present day Botswana up till South Africa. They were more advanced than San Bushmen and practiced cattle farming and mining. Smelting of iron, tin and copper were also amongst their economic practices.

Very soon, the Zulus arrived and captured the land destroying the Sotho-Tswana settlement. This was another short lived kingdom which was replaced by the Dutch who had come in with the help of Sotho-Tswana. Soon after their arrival, the entire region, all the way from Pretoria to Johannesburg came under Dutch rule.

With the advent of 19th century, gold was discovered in the Berberton region which lies at a distance, nearly 400km from Johannesburg. Very soon after the discovery, it was found out that the main source of gold were the foothills of Witwatersand Range. Langlaagte was where gold was first discovered in Johannesburg. It was in the year 1886. The world got attracted to the city. With the increase in Johannesburg’s importance, strains between local and British government also increased. A series of battles took place and British gained control over the land.

Under the British rule, development of Johannesburg started in the 1930s. Around 1970s, the city had grown into an affluent metropolitan center, filled with high rise buildings and a very busy airport. Unfortunately, South Africa then saw Apartheid era which led to Johannesburg’s division into 11 authorities. 7 of these were given to whites and the rest 4 to colored or black populations. For many years, Johannesburg saw bloodshed and misery. With the end of Apartheid, Johannesburg was re-united and its vicinity increased adding in all the surrounding towns and even the poorer colonies.

Today, Johannesburg is home to a number of ethnicities, all living and working peacefully together. The city also boasts world class OR Tambo International Airport which is the busiest airport in Africa. Owing to its economic activities, flights to Johannesburg are in great demand and offered by almost every major international airline.

World class hotels, a spectacular skyline, never ending business activity, 5-star restaurants, thriving nightlife and Americanized luxury shopping malls are what characterize Johannesburg in the present world. Europe is the best place to find cheap flights to Johannesburg as from there tourists and business travelers can find many airlines servicing the city.
