Johannesburg – Maboneng is sited on Johannesburg’s periphery.
The serene, unsoiled atmosphere is a sharp contrast to its vicious surroundings. Crowds of elite dinners frequent the area in pursuit of an aura of relaxation – and it does not disappoint. Crime is arrested here.
Glimpses of mixed nationals reignite the rainbow nation ideals.
Maboneng brags as a cultural epicenter, attracting cosmopolitan visitors, offering shops, entertainment venues, residential spaces, offering the best eateries, and housing The Bioscope – the only independent cinema in South Africa.
With a vision to evolve the zone, create space for all – Maboneng is a sign of hope for South Africa to reclaim its former glory. Rivertown, Maboneng partner precinct in Durban is pursuing inner city integration.
Hilbrow – a Johannesburg inner city neighbourhood is dreaded for its high population density, unemployment, poverty and crime.
Once preserved as a ‘whites only’ during the 1970s, it soon became a hub for different ethnicities. And rubbish soon took away the beauty as crime became dominant.

| Hillbrow in Johannesburg |
Today, former township dwellers dominate the area. Like in Maboneng, art is also part of Hilbrow'.
Media has used Hilbrow to depict the harsh realities of South Africa including: Hilbrow Kids and The Restless Supermarket among other blockbusters.
Since 1990, shelter groups have been retrieving and rehabilitating female child victims of commercial sexual exploitation.
A towering telecommunications tower – The Hillbrow Tower, completed in 1971, dominates the Johannesburg city skyline, featuring on various images nationwide – it rises to a height of 270 metres.

Before, it once featured a rotating restaurant, closed 1981 due to security fears – and is unlikely to be reopened.
Ponte City – the tallest residential building in Johannesburg was completed in 1975. Housing 54 floors, it was once a sought-after residence – but it has been rundown, over-populated and generally unsafe.
Recent upgrades have brought the long-gone shine.
