「“Landed in #Joburg. The #Gautrain had just started. Jumped onto the Gautrain, whizzed through into #Sandton. World class. And then I walked across the road into the hotel and it was a Sunday afternoon and there was a pool party going on. Obviously no beaches, no mountains, no vineyards.
“There was a beautifully integrated crowd, not something we were always used to in the Cape. And I spent the afternoon talking to a young black architect by the name of Benedict, and it was just such a good energy. I didn’t even go for the interview, I just phoned the guy, Herman, and I said, ‘I’m in. I want to be in this city’.”Higgs found, in his instant new home, “a vibrant city, an integrated city. It was the energy of the city. Talking to someone later on, I said, ‘I love the energy of the city’ and they said, ‘You must understand that Joburg exists because of the Gold Rush, and hasn’t really changed; there’s massive opportunity here, everything moves at 100 km an hour, there’s no real off time, there’s no real off season.’
“It’s not like #CapeTown where it ebbs and flows and so forth. And I feel that. I love this city and have made it my home, more than Cape Town has ever been.”
The Joburg that Higgs fell in love with is a melting pot of #Africa.“How it relates to other cities, the Singapores, the Londons and the New Yorks, is that Joburg is a melting pot of African countries, west, east and southern Africa, and with that comes an incredible vibrancy: #art, #music, #food, #fashion.”」

I heard a really heart-warming story on the #news this morning: #BafanaBafana is at O.R. Thambo International Airport this morning, having arrived back at around 04:00 after their #AFCON win.
And #Gautrain is offering free trips to the airport to go meet them, provided you're wearing your #soccer supporters' outfit, and you're not carrying any luggage (i.e. you're clearly going to meet them, and not going on a flight or anything).
I just thought that was a really sweet gesture!
