Johannesburg

Johannesburg is a city that sprawls over the African landscape. You can drive for what seems like forever, and you’ll still be in Johannesburg. You’ll drive past the quaint suburbs, the skyscrapers of the business district, the shantytowns filled with little more than shacks, the rich walled-off living areas. You’re still in Jo’burg, as the locals call it

But you begin to wonder if there are actually any locals at all, or if we all have been caught in the unrelenting gravity of Johannesburg. Some have just been here longer than others. You cannot seem to leave even if you try.
