R100 mid winter special! 22 June
Step into the electric buzz of Braamfontein with TimeTraveller Adventures’ “Braamfontein Tour”—a kaleidoscopic deep dive into Johannesburg’s most dynamic urban revival zone. Here’s what makes it pop:

🎨 Street Art Feast
You’ll venture through the four-block creative nucleus Juta Street—home to works by masters like Hannelie Coetzee and Faith47. Towering murals, vibrant alleys,offering visual narratives of unity, protest, identity, and urban REGENERATION.

🧑‍🎨 Artist Profiles Up Close
Hear the stories behind the art—from Coetzee’s monumental plate-mural that pays homage to the Ndzundza Ndebele heritage, to Faith47’s poetic spray-painted odes to Johannesburg’s icons.

🏙️ Regeneration & Energy
This is not street art for art’s sake—it’s vibrant testimony to the neighborhood’s resurgence. Once a dusty gold-rush relic, Braamfontein has blossomed into a lively creative and student hub.

🌳 Green Oases & Hidden Spots
Your stroll leads through Liberty’s tucked-away Indwe Park—with indigenous plant pockets, hidden artworks, and serene benches—an unexpected oasis of calm in this energetic quarter
allevents.in The walk also threads through tucked-away alleys and leafy corners, many featuring mosaic installations and steel sculptures.

🕙 Vibrant, Approachable & Fun
Starting mid-morning (around 11 am) in Braam, the tour is an accessible, about-2‑hour stroll. Expect laughter, light-hearted exploration, and moments of pause in cafes or on-step viewing of sprawling pieces bursting with color.

Johannesburg Pritchard street in the late 1890's
Pritchard street was the second most important street in the city - after Commissioner street.

Pritchard street had all the shops, so it became known as "the ladies'" street!

The council also asked that all the shops light up their windows on a Saturday night, so the town's folk can do some window shopping.
Soon a band started playing and it became a party!

What can you expect on our Fordsburg (Foodsburg) tour.

We start out walk by visiting Shalimar delights – one of the biggest supermarkets for traditional sweet meats (Indian confectionary, with a fudge like consistency).
From there we depart through the streets of Fordsburg to explore the rich culture and history. Our first stop: Lilian rd. studios with an incredible mosaic by Hannelie Coetzee. We walk down the road to Archies – a quaint dive bar serving cold beers and polony sandwiches!
Fordsburg is the home of food in Joburg, so it is only fitting that we look at how food supplies and grocers influenced life on the Witwatersrand.
We stroll past the Oriental Plaza, a famous shopping attraction in Jozi – but how did it come to be and what does forced removals have to do with the plaza?
Last on out history list is the Hamidia Mashid, one of the oldest Masjid’s in Joburg and it links to Mahatma Gandhi’s passive resistance movement. We explore Gandhi’s time in South Africa.

Having worked up an appetite we will dive right into the food culture. Fordsburg is a hot pot of melting cultures, and it is on display in the area around the market square. n one block you will find Turkish, Pakistani, Greek, Syrian and South-Indian cuisine.
Our stops include:
House of Schwarma,
House of Baklava,
Dosa hut, not only for Dosa’s but also South Indian food, brilliant to take home.
And Turkish grill for the best (and cheapest) Dohner Kebabs in Joburg!
We also explore the market for street food (think samosas, spring rolls, pies, roti, etc.) as well as the most amazing freshly squeezed juices.
With full bellies and shopping bags we head back to the cars!
Bring shopping bags - you will be buying plenty of food stuff.

A Migrant to the city...

Johannesburg was from the outset a city of Migrants.

There really is no one who can truly claim to be a native Johannesburger.

Like many before me, and I am sure, like many after me, I came to Johannesburg after graduating in search of work.

I settled in the east of Joburg, but there has always been a mystical attraction to the inner city, the real Johannesburg, the melting pot of Edwardian architecture, derelict buildings from the 1950s, street vendors selling "vetkoek" and "skop" (a stew consisting mainly of beef trotters, and who knows what else...) washed down with a swig of home made ginger and pineapple beer.
