DISBOOK - The Africa 2012 Edition - (Page 27)

Jo b u r g Vi b e s - Disbook AfricA 2012 Joburg Vibes Joburg. one of the most populous modern African cities. Little but tall grass and trees existed here before 1886, when an Australian prospector named George Harrison struck gold on a farm about five miles west of today’s downtown. Revamped to host the 2010 World cup games, the city built on a gold reef now offers supersized mall shopping, an electric nightlife and a flourishing art scene. Johannesburg is one of Africa’s most thrilling metropolises. Revitalization has blossomed. Johannesburg is showing off its virtues, overcoming its vices and hoping to erase the urban-jungle image of the 1990’s. Even Central Business District, which many businesses fled in the transition to democracy in the ’90s, is on the rebound. Johannesburgers from different backgrounds are working together to remake their city for the next generation, tapping into a wellspring of entrepreneurial spirit and creative vibes. Heralding the entrance into the city, the 5,5 meters in height and 20 tons in weight concrete Eland at Braamfonteign’s gateway, by artist Clive Van der Berg, brings an enormous amount of energy to the area and contributes to make Joburg the cultural hub to Africa.
