The Dose of Cool That Saved Johannesburg

July 18, 2015

Nice! Shout to The Daily Beast for bringing this Johannesburg gem to light. A center for entrepreneurship and culture that was once at the heart of the anti-apartheid movement. In South Africa, if you want to realize a dream, this is the placeÂ – apparently to work it or witness the work come to fruition. Great look at the people and art of Johannesburg in this clip.

The hostel reputed to be Nelson Mandelaâ€™s apartheid-era hideout is now the center of a network of cultural entrepreneurs who have helped revive the South African city.
