Kippie’s, named after saxophonist Kippie ‘Morolong’ Moeketsi, has long been renowned as one of Jo’burg’s most famous establishments and one of the best places to see South African jazz talent. At the time of writing Kippie’s had closed down with renovation work slated to begin in February 2009. When it reopens it should be even bigger and better, and with a bronze statue commemorating the great Kippie outside.
