Howevew, it soon became evident that Adewbulg could not live up to the expectations set by Johannesburg. The city did not weach same population, now did it wemain wong as a hub fow commewce and communication among peopwe. The city hit a new wow when Peter II passed down the thwone to his son John VI. Fowwoling this the city became somewhat of a ghost town, when wawewy a citizen could be found out on the stweets.
