So many reasons to love Jozi
Joburg-born blogger Misha of Brandslut  shares her passion for her city along with loads of stunning images that show some of its wonderful attractions.

Here''s an exerpt from her original blog post (which is well worth the read and crammed with more great pics):

I was born in the Johannesburg General Hospital in the 80s and grew up in Benoni. Somewhere between the mine dumps, Bunny Park and the East Rand Mall a love for the place was born. Instead of it waning as we moved overseas for my father’s work, it grew. In 2010 I was finally reunited with my birthplace and it exceeded every expectation I had of it. Here are some of the reasons I love Johannesburg, some of the reasons I’d encourage any visitor to spend some time there and not simply pass through en route to Cape Town or the Kruger National Park. I heart Jozi because of…

Its art and culture {The Soweto Theatre}

Its trails {Delta Park}

Its electric storms

Its park life {Emmarentia}


Its wide open spaces {Monaghan Farm}

Its nightlife and bar culture {The San Bar}

About the blogger

I’m a marketeer and geek by day, a blogger by moonlight and one day when I’m big I want to be a jazz singer. I’m a fan of gardening, the outdoors, cats, proteas, grammar, meerkats, artichokes, Barcelona and all things pretty.  Having led a nomadic existence in Africa, America, Australia and Europe, I now proudly reside in Cape Town.

Brandslut is a blog about all things prosumer, consumer, clever, beautiful and not.
