The best journalism tells the stories of those who have no voice, who are vital to our lives but are mostly ignored and undervalued by society.

「 Looking down on the square in front of City Hall and the historic Rissik Street Post Office (left), which is desperately in need of refurbishment and has been for years. I posted a jazzier edit of this image on social media over the weekend and it yielded a slew of interesting comments, including one speculating that the image must be AI because downtown #Joburg couldn’t possibly look this nice. But I assure you, no AI programs were abused in the creation of this picture.」

Joburg is a city that demands a lot, but gives back in ways that are hard to quantify. 🇿🇦

A quick trip into the inner city turned into an unexpected adventure through the newly reopened Johannesburg City Library, complete with a tour of the magical underground archival stacks (40km of shelving!). 📚

From art galleries to local history and coffee at Bridge Books, it's a perfect reminder of why this city is so wonderful to call home.

#Joburg has a lot in store for #aviation buffs, e.g. the #SAAMuseum.

#AviationHistory #RandAirport #SAA #SouthAfricanAirways #Johannesburg #SouthAfrica

I know I am saying that not for the first time, but: Don’t be afraid of the #Johannesburg inner city areas like #Marshalltown.

And if you are there, go for lunch e.g. at Sadie‘s. Friendly people, solid food, good #RedCapuccino.

#Klipriviersberg is a very nice #NatureReserve in #Johannesburg.

Maybe finally slowly and possibly and potentially things might be moving in the right direction for the #JohannesburgArtGallery...

「 The minister told a packed crowd at #Joburg’s Everard Read Gallery on Thursday night that “the war has started”.

“The president has taken it upon himself and given me clear instructions that the Johannesburg Art Gallery has to be brought back to the way it used to look. And the [Friends of #JAG] should not be seen as enemies like they’ve been seen as enemies,” he said. 」

EDIT: Postponed, no new date yet.

#Johannesburg #Joburg #MarketDay

I know I have already said that frequently, but #Johannesburg has so many impressive #museum|s.

If you are into #cars, #HorseCarriage|s, #Tram|s, the first #SouthAfrica|n #ElectricCar (prototypes of the #Joule already existed when #Tesla wasn’t a thing yet) or other modes of #transport, the #JamesHallMuseumOfTransport is a must see.

Many of the exhibits are in an excellent condition, too.

#Joburg

So I’ll be in Johannesburg for a week this month. Of course I’m googling stuff to do, asking my contacts, but they’re coming back with mainstream stuff. So…

Any tips you lovely Mastodon people have for a happy and curious nerd to geek out on while I’m there?

Thank you!

Thanks to @roblaing's post I came across the awesome and (for me at least) new #SouthAfrica|n #newsmedia site #CurrencyNews (which unlike the name suggests is no exchange rate website...)

The reporting about the #JohannesburgArtGallery alone are worth a subscription in my opinion (EDIT: Even though all articles I have seen so far are not behind a paywall and I hope it stays that way, like on #DailyMaverick):
