Yola Minnaar, a cook and community leader, makes and sells koesisters, a Cape Malay specialty, from her kitchen in Fietas, Johannesburg.

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

I asked ChatGPT some questions about 2Summers and Joburg. The responses occasionally accurate, but mostly ridiculous and even distressing.

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.

We spent a weekend in Kensington, a suburb on the east side of Joburg, at the Fishbird Villa. It was great to get away in our own city.

On Youth Day, the Brixton community held a spinning demonstration and fashion show/market to warm up for the Brixton Light Festival.

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.

Fiver and I went to Buyuk Chamlija, a "socio eco techno village" in Centurion, to pick pomegranates and eat Turkish food.

I recently discovered Bev's Burgers, a secret burger joint operating out of the kitchen at the Irish Club in Linden.

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

I joined a Johannesburg Heritage Foundation tour of three quirky mansions on Linksfield Ridge designed by architect Gerald Gordon.
