I visited the Cape Agulhas, the southernmost point in Africa, for the first time. But I was lazy and missed a lot of the attractions.

On Sunday morning I stopped by the Brixton Cemetery to take pictures of a cleanup event led by Friends of Johannesburg Cemeteries.

I visited the Wits Art Museum to see the current exhibition of works from the Standard Bank African Art Collection. It was stunning.

Thorsten and Heather, aka the Blogitects, rode Phyllis the Ford Ranger FX4 on a nine-day road trip from Joburg to the Eastern Cape and back.

I visited the Nizamiye Mosque in Midrand for the first time in several years, and got permission to take pictures from the top.

I visited 56 Jorissen Street, a new student residence in Braamfontein, earlier this week. The views are amazing.
