What Can I Expect From The Jozi Gems- Explore Joburg’s Diverse Hidden History?

Journey through Kerk Street’s fruit and vegetable market, reaching Anstey’s Art Deco marvel. Reflect at the North Gauteng High Court on the mining history and the birth of Johannesburg at Randjieslaagte. Pass Oppenheimer Park, exploring the Leaping Impala statue and Gandhi Square, a former tram terminus showcasing urban regeneration.

Descend Main Street, pause at Cramers for exceptional coffee, then delve into the Ferreira’s mine stope under Standard Bank. Unearth the origins of gold mining, the meteorite mystery, and the men behind the discovery. Trace the impact of diamond magnates on Commissioner Street and the Anglo American Campus, uncovering tales of opulence, greed, and scandal. Conclude the tour at Madiba’s law offices on Fox Street, delving into the groundbreaking practices that shaped citizens’ lives.

This 4-5-hour journey encapsulates Johannesburg’s rich history, from humble mining origins to the influential figures who shaped its destiny. The cost is R300 per person.
