People say that Joburg’s in a different time zone from the rest of South Africa. Come with us and find out why! We make something electric out of our mix of past and present.
See how the Newtown Precinct, once the source of Jozi’s electricity supply, fuses art, music, theater and good wining and dining in the heart of funky industrial architecture. Dance where Brenda Fassie’s spirit still hovers close to experienced and new musicians alike.
Visit the Constitutional Court, built incorporating the bricks of an infamous apartheid-era jail. This inspirational building may be the most beautiful court on earth.
In Sophiatown, walk famous streets with our witnesses who saw their homes bulldozed and families removed to Soweto, Lenasia, and Eldorado Park. Participate in conversations between generations in quiet gardens. Hear how they gathered together memories of the past to weave a fabric which ensures a future for a community centre and museum.
Follow the road taken by Sophiatown’s exiles to Soweto, and enjoy a delicious lunch of home-style township cooking. Touch base with the legends like Mandela, and the children of 1976. Meander through stories told through mosaics, monuments, murals, monsters, and madonnas. Chill out near cooling towers and rocky outcrops crouched in sturdy veld grass, long time destinations to pilgrims of many faiths.
