Johannesburg City Centre (Category) - 207 posts

Thorsten and I spent an hour at Indwe Park, a garden on the Liberty campus in Braamfontein. It's a beautiful bit of nature in downtown Jozi.

Last weekend I attended the "Hey Hillbrow Let's Dlala" parade and found myself crying for a lot of the parade. Here's why.

Last Saturday activists, students, and concerned Joburgers demonstrated for the re-opening of the Johannesburg City Library.

St. Mary's Cathedral in downtown Joburg is one of the city's most important historic landmarks. I had never heard of it until last week.

I had the perfect jumpsuit and some other items made as part of a Caraci Clothing experience with Sebo Marobela, and I am in love.

I took a walk through downtown Jozi on a tour with JoburgPlaces. Despite all the bad press, the city is still alive and kicking.

I visited Joburg's historic Drill Hall, where the artists/entrepreneurs of Exotically Divine are turning trash into art.

With the help of Caraci Experiences, I got to be a Jozi fashion designer for a day and (help) design my very own wax print bomber jacket.

I recently received a media invitation from Johannesburg In Your Pocket to go axe-throwing in downtown Joburg. How could I refuse? I had never thrown an axe …

I spent Friday morning at the Joburg Market, the largest fresh produce market in Africa, just outside of downtown Joburg.

Over Human Rights Day weekend I discovered St. Alban's Anglican Mission Church, a 100-year-old church hidden in plain sight in Ferreirasdorp.

In the most recent installment of my Hidden Joburg series I visit the Freemasons' Hall in Parktown, designed by Gordon Leith in the 1950s.
