Johannesburg’s finest part-time superhero team, Paws-R-Us, dabbles in philanthropy alongside regular jobs and weekend markets.
Their noble quest? Giving tail-wagging fitness and smiles to over 200 rescue dogs while seeking forever homes for their pawed protégés. Plus, they sell thoughtful knick-knacks, like lost marbles and crisis-enduring strings. Join the Dog Walker Volunteer Programme or drop a shiny bone (donation) to turn their cause into a paw-sitive success!
The Parktown Convent of Joburg has morphed from an early 1900s girls’ school to a ghoulish tourist attraction. Its dimly lit walkways may be creepy, but they’re as full of history as they are of phantom schoolgirls. Going solo might warrant a trespassing ticket, so rope in a mate, join a guided tour, or if you’re particularly brave — a haunted one. Just don’t forget your holy water for the spectres. Aggression towards tourists can be more real than spectral, though, so stay safe in the city.
Jump into the swirling cyclone of flea markets, where goods aren’t just goods, they’re beings with biographies! Delve into these melting pots of history, culinary surprises and occasional nonsense. From Parisian roots to American soil, these markets are vintage vaults of treasures and stories. Unearth forgotten trinkets, become eco-friendly, decorate your house or start your own stall. Dive in, it’s a flea-tastic frenzy of bargains and baguettes, where even the biggest curmudgeon can find memories to giggle about!
Well, the traffic drama in Johannesburg has more acts than a Shakespeare play.
Metropolis expansion? Check! Failed public transport solutions? You betcha! Metrobus as the knight in shining armour? Of course. World Cup sparking changes? Naturally.
Alas, the dream of a seamless transport system remains as elusive as a polite honk on the highway. The inefficiencies get as complex as a spaghetti junction, but hey, hope springs eternal, right?
Let’s cast corruption and unrest as the villains in the next act.
In the highly imaginative world of long-exposure photography, even time can be toyed with to spin a visual yarn. This art is all about catching stillness amid a whirl of movement, using camera-ready tripods and quick thinking. Craft beguiling stories using not just light and shadow, but also the whispers of passing time. So grab a camera, toss reality out the window, and prepare to bend time to your artistic will!
