suburbs of Johannesburg
That won’t last. I recently met a couple from SA and mentioned that I wouldn’t mind seeing it. They said, “Then you’d better make it quick because it’s turning to shit.”
One of the suburbs I was referring to is a town called Sandton. We used it a few years ago as our "home base" while visiting the National Parks. It's very,very wealthy...wealthy enough to have a write up in Wikipedia. There was a Rolls Royce dealership within a 2 minutes walk of our hotel.It reminded me very much of the time I got lost in Palos Verdes (suburban LA...very wealthy).
But only about 10 minutes away is a place called Alexandria. It's a shanty town that looks like places I saw in Nairobi and Dar Es Salaam.Absolutely Fourth World.
