In this video I walked from my Airbnb near Newtown to one of the supposedly dangerous areas inside Johannesburg Central Business District (CBD) - Maboneng Neighborhood.
Maboneng is fast becoming Joburg’s most unique and innovative area, offering live / work and entertainment opportunities within a fully integrated urban environment.
Maboneng, meaning “Place of Light”, is a privately developed urban neighbourhood on the east side of Johannesburg CBD. A fully fledged thriving community, Maboneng is home to numerous independent retail, restaurants and entertainment venues as well as designful apartments, offices, hotels, a museum and creative factory spaces in a connected urban environment. Organically, Maboneng has grown to become an entrepeneurial hub due to creatives seeing the opportunity to collaborate with like-minded people.
