What do you like about Joburg?

Ntando: I love the people who live in Jozi. They come from all over the country and from all walks of life. I learn so much from them.

Hlelo: Primi Piatti at The Zone in Rosebank. They have amazing cocktails and we enjoy the regular live bands that play there.

Where do you chill with your friends in Joburg?

All the places we have mentioned have a taste of a bit of all the different and best elements of what Joburg has to offer.

Joburg can only get better in the years to come.
