The Hillbrow Tower, one of the emblems of the city.

Apparently it used to have a rotating restaurant on one of the top floors during the seventies... I wish they'd reopen that!

There's another tower one, too: the Sentech, or Brixton, Tower. If I'd have turned ninety degrees to the right, you'd have seen that one.

Both towers define the city. When I'm in Soweto, you can see Jozi in the distance, the two towers sticking out as giant needles.

I only beat you some 15 minutes... :) My record of beating someone in these kind of threading is 7 seconds; I don't think I'll improve on that.

Anyway, your additional Ponte commentary is just as valuable.
