The lovely thing about all this is that everyone brings a bit of their culture, and it’s all blended and works well together here in Fordsburg. We have what we call the “square”, which is the hub of commercial activity. Here you will find different shops owned by people of different nationalities. Fordsburg was always multi-layered and very cosmopolitan, and in that sense it hasn’t changed much. It’s a very mixed culture, and it makes you see a different side to South Africa”. ~ Essop Bahana (The Joburg Book-Nechama Brodie (Ed)) Let Past Experiences guide you on a walking tour taking in the history, culture and gastronomical delights of Fordsburg and of couse a trip to the only weekly night market in South Africa.
