This was an amazing experience. I have lived in Johannesburg for almost 34 years and even lived nearby for most of those years and never visited. The renewal of this iconic building is impressive and the staff at Dlala Nje are just amazing. Thank you for a lovely and informative tour Cynthia. South Africans and especially Joburgers need to go on this experience!

Great experience guided by Sifiso and Alvaro. A real discovery covering different areas: building itself, dramatic history, and Berea and Hillbrow districts life. Our excellent guides made us feel the past, present and future of this fascinating area of Johannesburg.

Situated in Berea, between the other famous neighbourhoods Yeoville & Berea: Ponte city or the ‘Vodacom tower’ is a staple of the skyline…and yet as a local it always felt shrouded, sometimes sinisterly, in mystery. Dlala Nje is an incredible community organisation running a free educational crèche for kids and teenagers both in the building and nearby. This tour assists in funding them. The tour, which is about an hour & costs R350 pp, will be guided by friendly & knowledgable Dlala Nje volunteers/ residents of Ponte City. You go right through the building from its movie-set rocky foundations to its top floors while following the story of the buildings tumultuous history, from luxury to gang takeovers to failed contracts and renovation efforts. I cannot recommend it enough!
