Historic Buildings of Johannesburg

Johannesburg was founded in 1886 and

is the largest and most populous city in South Africa. It is the provincial capital of

Gauteng, the wealthiest province

in South Africa, having the largest economy of any

metropolitan region in Sub-Saharan

Africa. The city is one of the 40 largest

metropolitan areas in the world, it is Africa's most

advanced city, and one of Africa's only

two global cities, the other being Cairo.

Arial view of the city centre

Anglo-American HO Barbican Building

Ansteys Tower, located at 59

Joubert Street is now a national

monument. This building was once the home of Cecil Williams (actor, playwright, and

member of Umkhonto we Sizwe). Nelson Mandela was

disguised as Cecil Williams' driver when he was captured on 5 August 1962.

Page 69: Round the world

Johannesburg City Hallnow houses the Gauteng provinciallegislature

While Johannesburg does not form one of South Africa's three capital cities, it does house the Constitutional Court- South

Africa's highest court.

Johannesburg is the source of a large-scale gold and diamond trade, due to its location on the mineral –rich Witwatersrand

range of hills.

Johannesburg is also served by O.R Tambo , the largest and busiest airport in Africa and a gateway for international air

travel to and from the rest of southern Africa.

Soweto is situate in the south west of Johannesburg. Soweto is a township that the apartheid government established to

accommodate the large number of migrant workers who came to Johannesburg from their villages and towns to work

on the mines of Witwatersrand.

Page 70: Round the world

The Hillbrow Tower is the highest structure in Johannesburg, and is probably the city's

most recognisable landmark. The Hillbrow Tower (previously known as the JG

Strijdom Tower) was built over three years, between June 1968 and April 1971, and is 269m high. It is owned by Telkom

(previously by the Post Office) and is used as a microwave tower. It used to boast a revolving restaurant, but was closed in January 1981 for security reasons. The

tower had a blue illuminated Telkom sign installed on 31 May 2005, and was

renamed as the Telkom Joburg Tower. It is interesting to note that the height of the Hillbrow Tower is virtually the same as

the length of the Titanic (269m).

The Standard Bank building is unique in Johannesburg, in that it was built from

the top down. After the central core was built, the floors were suspended from three cantilevered arms, with the top floors added first, followed by each

lower floor. The building is organised into three hanging volumes of nine

office floors each, with air conditioning plants housed between the sections. Photograph on right courtesy of

including pressed ceilings.

The museum exhibits include antique clothing and children's toys, which take

the visitor back 100 years to the city that was. A train encircles the park and

many shops offer interesting curios.

You can also visit the original gold mine in a lift that goes down to 220 meters below the surface. An on site casino is open 24

APARTHEID MUSEUM,Johannesburg

The Apartheid Museum was built to celebrate the triumph of the human spirit over adversity, inequality and

humiliation.

Beginning in 1948, the white elected National Party government implemented the policy of apartheid which turned 20 million people into second class citizens,

damning them to a life of servitude, humiliation and abuse.

Their liberation in 1994 with the election of Nelson Mandela, the prisoner who

became president, is a climax in the saga of a nation's resistance, courage

and fortitude.

The Apartheid Museum , the first of its kind, illustrates the rise and fall of

apartheid.

SOPHIATOWN,Johannesburg

Originally called Sophiatown, it was destroyed, and a white

suburb called Triomf (Triumph) was established in

its place by the apartheid government, before the name Sophiatown was

officially restored in 2006.

Sophiatown became the symbolic center of black

culture around Johannesburg in the 1940s and ‘50s. It was a focus of arts, politics, religion, and

entertainment.

In the early hours, heavily armed police entered Sophiatown to force

residents out of their homes and load their belongings onto government

trucks. The residents were taken to a large tract of land, thirteen miles from

the city centre, to the aptly-named empty fields of Meadowlands (now

part of Soweto) Resistance was only peaceful.

The government bulldozed Sophiatown by the end of 1963(except for the

Anglican Church of Christ the King and rebuilt it as a white only suburb

named Triomf (Afrikaans for triumph). The ANC government restored the

name Sophiatown in the late 1990s, although the name change was only

completed in February 2006.

OLD FORT, CONSTITUTION HILL Johannesburg

The Constitutional Court is a

groundbreaking building that not only houses the 11 judges

who guard South Africa's Constitution

but also which stands as an icon of our new culture of democracy and human rights.

It is fitting that the Court, a symbol of the democracy that replaced apartheid, has been built on the site of

the Old Fort, Johannesburg's notorious prison - symbolising the triumph of hope over a troubled

past.The building, which reflects the values of our new

culture of constitutionalism, needed a court chamber, public areas, a library, public reading

space and rooms for 11 judges and other staff. Few modern South African buildings have inspired as

much awe and excitement as this one.

JOHANNESBURG BOTANICAL GARDENSAs Joburg started as a fast growing, rough

and raw mining camp little attention was paid to the provision of parks for its

residents. Joubert Park, the first established park in the city and later

home of the Johannesburg Art Gallery. A parks department was established only after the Anglo-Boer South African War (1899 – 1902) when a start was made

with the development of parks and recreational spaces.

As land along the main Witwatersrand gold reef was being mined for gold, it was hard to find land for recreational purposes. ‘The Wilds’ – a reserve for

indigenous shrubs and flowers in Houghton – was established in 1938. Bezuidenhout Park, on the eastern

outskirts, was developed in 1945. The homestead and cemetery of the original

owners, the Bezuidenhout family, still exists. Many other parks and

sanctuaries followed all over the city and its suburbs.

The Botannical Gardens opened in 1968.
