Lonely Planet review

Crowned by the looming, 269m Telkom Tower, Hillbrow was once among the liveliest and most interesting suburbs in the city. It bore witness to the cracks opening in the shell of apartheid when it was designated the nation's first 'Grey Area' - a zone where blacks and whites could live side by side. These days, however, it also has a reputation for very real lawlessness and a trip into its guts, without an extremely savvy guide, is not recommended.
