In the third installment of my Joburg storytelling project I tell the story of Florence Ngobeni-Allen, an outspoken advocate for women and children.

In the second installment of my Joburg storytelling project I tell the story of James Ike, my Nigerian boxing coach who I met at the Hillbrow Boxing Club.

In the first installment of my Joburg storytelling project I tell the story of Michelle de Villiers, founder of Melville's Junkie Charity Shop.

I photographed the children in Grade R at the Grow Up and Learn School in downtown Jozi, as they decorated paper flowers for the Joziburg Lane Festival.

Griffin Shea, the man who cruises Jozi's streets with a suitcase full of books, has now opened his own bookshop, Bridge Books, in downtown Joburg.

I spontaneously visited the Imbali Building, a 15-storey apartment building nicknamed "Mini Ponte", in Joburg's Berea neighborhood.

I did a quick photoshoot on the Melville Koppies with Wendy Carstens, the Koppies' biggest champion, and her husband David.

On a rainy Saturday I attended an Instameet on the Bjala Square rooftop in Jeppestown, where we were almost in the clouds.

Quick restaurant reviews of Hell's Kitchen and Pablo Eggs-Go-Bar, two of the most popular restaurants in Joburg at the moment.

This hadeda tire planter from Yada Yada in Melville is the greatest thing I've ever bought for my garden. Every Joburg garden should have one.

I queued for more than two hours for donuts and coffee at the new Starbucks and Krispy Kreme shops in Rosebank. And I loved every minute of it.
