I recently went to visit a Hi-Jacked building in the downtown area of Johannesburg.  Basically, people would just take over the building and there was nothing the landlord could do about it.  There is some weird protection act here in South Africa that protects homeless people.  This building has been re-claimed and it’s gonna be made into something way more appealing!  My friend Clayton took me through the building so I could shoot some photos, here they are!

A friend of ours just opened this coffee shop in the downtown area of Johannesburg.  I must say, after living on the west coast of the USA for many years and spending many hours in some of the top coffee shops in the USA it’s really refreshing to walk into a place here in Johannesburg and order a cup of coffee that immediately make me wanna order another!  These guys have got it right and they know their shit.  If you’re ever in the area, make sure you stop by, order a coffee and one of their special sandwiches and enjoy the view from the large windows.  Change is coming to Johannesburg so go ahead and be a part of it.
