We love Joburg. And we’re all for giving credit to all those people, businesses and companies who make The City of Gold such a vibrant, dynamic, energetic place to live.
We work hard, and by golly we play hard too. Which is what the Best of Joburg Readers’ Choice Awards is all about. Thinking about the best spots to visit and shop and giving them a well-deserved pat on the back. The finest restaurants where we dine out, and the bars where we drink cocktails and have a little flirting fun. The radio personalities who make us laugh, the hair stylists who make sure we look fabulous, the schools where we put down our babes names at birth.
