Why Everyone Loves Jo'burg
Farai Diza
The multi cultured city of Johannesburg has made great strides rising from the ashes of apartheid to being an internationally acclaimed destination of choice. So much has happened 20 years into democracy and the pillars of independence are coming to fruition.
Many people come to the city of gold with nothing but a suitcase full of dreams and they do come true for many who believe in their abilities. It may not be the most beautiful city in the world but it is exciting and vibrant and at the coalface of what people think.
From the bustling taxis that stream into the Noord rank every morning to the beautiful Midrand sunsets, “Joy-hannesburg” or “Jo-hustleburg” is the land of beauty and opportunity.
Just like the lingering smiles of her inhabitants, Jozi is rich in mineral resources, filled with unlimited business potential, breathtaking landscapes, abundant lifestyle, unspoilt environment and an enviable lifestyle.
Aply named the “Gateway to Africa”, the cosmopolitan city boasts of many features and amenities reminiscent of a world class city. From good infrastructure to a sophisticated banking system. From good coverage of medical services to friendly people blessed with a touch of nostalgia. That is Johannesburg.
Yet statistics alone can never tell the full story, there are more options in the city, more creativity, more fashion choices and more integration.
Johannesburg is scathingly hot in summer with routinely high temperatures that range between 30 and 40 degrees Celsius. It mercifully cools down at night though making sleep time worth every ticking second.
With all work and no play making Jack a dull boy, the city is the unique port that enables everyone to enjoy the warm hospitality of the area. From the township Kota’s to the vibey coffee shops of Melville, there is just anything for everyone.
Traffic jams are constantly the order of the day with the main arterial routes clogging up with traffic. The advancement of technology and affordability of cell phones has made it easy for taxi and bus commuters to join motorists in tuning into their favourite radio stations while on the move.
After all, radio show hosts save our souls in these traffic jams. Listening to some of the city’s vibrant radio stations such as Highveld and Mix FM make trickling through traffic seem like a walk in the park
Among the vegetation, mountain acacia, wild pear, and the paper bark tree are all in abundance. There are also many aloes, wild herbs and over 100 grass species.
Johannesburg is the pulse of Africa and you can let the people share in the excitement with you.
Ends...
