Lonely Planet review for Telkom Tower

Dominated by the 269m Telkom Tower, Hillbrow was once among the liveliest and most interesting suburbs in the city and was 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.

    The dangerous heart of Joburg

    dlutzy recommends this,

    As a young, pale, naive backpacker left alone for a moment by his guide here with the advice, "stand next to that big armed security guard, don't wander off", this felt like the most dangerous place I'd ever been to.

    Despite the palpable risk I did survive unharmed to be able to write this review for you.
