A trip of nostalgia through a changed city









Pauline, Toon's wife, grew up in Johannesburg but has lived in Holland (and for a short time at The Chelsea Hotel in New York!) since the late 70's. So it was with much nostalgia that we drove from Nirox through places like Randburg and Brixton on our way to Arts On Main to see the Kentridge Play. Josi is a whole lot different now. It is a truly African city, bustling with traders and balck business men and women. There is a lot of informal trading but the city is alive and busy.

Here is one of the Google Earth paintings I have done while at Nirox...of Brixton!
