Did you know this about Johannesburg? Midrand was established as a municipality in 1981 (in an area known as Halfway House, after its position between Pretoria and Johannesburg), but ceased to be an independent town in the restructuring of local government that followed the end of apartheid in 1994. It was incorporated in the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality in 2000.

Sundays at the The Maboneng Precinct

On a Sunday morning, Maboneng is perhaps the most diverse place in South Africa. You will see Ethiopian coffee ceremonies happening next to artisanal gin bars, and Zulu dancers performing in the street while international tourists browse through vintage vinyl. It is a microcosm of the “New South Africa”—messy, vibrant, occasionally precarious, but undeniably alive. It proved that the “City of Gold” didn’t need to dig deeper into the earth to find value; it just needed to look at its own abandoned streets with a bit of imagination.
