I have a long standing love affair with Johannesburg and Hillbrow. I lived there from the mid 1960's, met and married my husband and had my first child there in the early 1970's. Then moved out to the suburbs. but still went often even when it became a no-go area. I worked on the 40th floor of the Carlton Centre in 2005, I managed a building in Hillbrow from 1997 and moved to offices in the building in 2007. I worked there until Mid 2009, just before I left SA to join my kids in UK. Thanks :)

To any South Africans watching this, lets work and get the CBD back to this state. Starting by voting out the ANC.

Lovely memories, Great movie. If I may offer a small criticism, the wind sound could have been reduced and maybe covered with a voice-over giving names to the landmark buildings. I remembered most of them, and loved revisiting The Carlton Hotel and Centre, The Civic Centre and Theatre among others, with the wonderful ending in Gold Reef City. I am sure many people have memories with many buildings, but don't remember the names of all the buildings.

Its a shame now how beautiful Johannesburg was before 1994

Soooooooo clean.

I worked at Gold Reef City in 1986, worked for a plumbing company called Plumbsure, run by Ivan Blackstone.

Thank you for posting "Joburg Tour.mpg"

Before the rot set in. Only the leadership of the noble Afrikaner can restore Johannesburg to it's former glory.

I like the: If the relay din't work, we will use the ladder! :-D Once I went to Rustenberg platinum mines, where they use a cable way, bicycle style to transport people, when it went broken, we were forced to WALK out from about 300m depth on about 30° incline! I was about 35 y.o. then, but by reaching the ground, gasping for air as a carp out of the water use to do:-D

And now look at it today....

Where are the people?

We lived in Berea now a shit hole

ANC must go back to school and study leadership n management skills
