Of the many travesties the City of Joburg visits on us, the 4-year closure of the Johannesburg Library is The Worst. Young people, students, researchers need it. Cadres have locked the city’s people out. Civil society has given Cllr. Kabelo Gwamanda 7 days to open it.
Great to chat about inner city Joburg with Robbie Brozin and Heather Dodd today at Victoria Yards. Thanks to Bridge books for showcasing Wake Up This Is Joburg bridgebooks.co.za/products/wake-…

Sadly, books like these by FB: Jacana Media, never reach the xenophobes; about Jeppe in Jozi, also known as "Little Addis" and as "Chaos Precinct" (by city officials) and, kicker, generating twice the revenue of Africa’s richest shopping mall. jacana.co.za/product/the-ch…
