At the time when German immigrants were escaping persecution, South Australia was just opening up for colonisation. Thanks to a wealthy Scottish businessman and chairman of the South Australian Company, George Fife Angas, a deal was struck by Pastor August Kavel to start a new Lutheran settlement in South Australia. The countryside in the Barossa Valley region of South Australia was reminiscent of the Germans' homeland, and it was ideal for them to continue established agricultural practices from Germany and Prussia.
Germans came to Johannesburg (and the whole of South Africa) for the same reason as did many other Europeans, for work, new land and at the time (juse like America) it was seen as a land of prosperity because there was untapped Natural Resources (such as Gold and Diamonds) and large amounts of land.
Germans are people from Germany, a country in Europe. Poles are people from Poland, another country in Europe. Both countries have unique cultures, traditions, and languages.
Johannesburg is the wealthies city in SA and Africa, making it the commercial capital of Africa. Therefore, a lot of people come to Johannesburg in search of jobs, with massive amounts of people migrating to Johannesburg in search of jobs. This is what makes it so populated.
Germans traveling to America in 1903 likely would have taken steamships across the Atlantic Ocean. During this time, ships were the primary mode of transportation for immigrants coming to the United States from Europe. The journey could take anywhere from 1-2 weeks depending on the weather and conditions at sea.
