JoburgPlaces is the initiative of Gerald Garner, author of Spaces & Places – Johannesburg and Spaces & Places - JoburgPlaces, among others. Gerald has been offering fascinating inner-city walking tours since 2011. Together with a group of experienced guides, JoburgPlaces has already taken over 17000 people on walking and other tours of the inner-city. The monthly Pubs, Bars & Rooftops tour by bus is probably the most legendary JoburgPlaces tour, but many other daily walking tours are on offer too.

Jozi Alternative Tours
Mahatma Gandhi came to Johannesburg as a young 24-year-old lawyer in 1893. He remained in the country, with short visits to England and India, for 21 years, 12 of them spent in Joburg. It was in the town in the early 1900s that he developed his passive resistance or Satyagraha movement, which he took to the world in 1914 when he left.
Come with me and walk in Gandhi's footsteps in the city: see where he lived in the suburbs, where he had his legal chambers, where he encouraged his followers to burn their discriminatory registration certificates, and where he is honoured in Gandhi Square. I have researched and written about the history and heritage of Joburg for many years, and draw on that research and interviews with people of relevance to the city's history.
