This tower is right on my way to work. It depicts the inner city life of Joburg quite well. Although the suburbs are quite nice, down town has not been taken care of. It is full of garbage and the evidence of street life is clear. This was once and office building that was turned into low income housing. Now it is the home for many prostitutes and drug dealers. Because it used to be an office building it has a 5 story parkade on the bottom which is full of garbage. It is also hollow in the middle. This is where people commit sucide, throw their garbage, even babies. They told us that if a white woman ever stepped in there they would be raped and killed in 5 minuets.....I still was quite intriged by this building.
