We are perfectly positioned in the heart of this multi-cultural suburb with every cuisine imaginable on your door step, shopping of every kind, the largest eastern shopping mall in Africa, just a block away and every imported and authentic local items available at various shops, fêtes and flea markets.
Furthermore, we are situated at the very heart of what was historically Sophiatown where President Mandela began his law practice. There are still remembrance of his practice and fast forwarding to 1992 when the apartheid security police cracked down on the Mandela`s hideaway in Rivonia in a paralyzing moment and in the Rivonia trial with an initial death sentence which was fortunate laid to rest and commuted to life sentence to which the whole world knows as the 27 years Mandela spent in Robin island.
There are even earlier signs of when Ian Smuts bombed the miners in an attempt to break the miners` strike.
Then again, there are signs of the cultural developments, in Newtown, where several no beau Africa theatre developed in Newtown and thereby became an attractive point to the rest of Africa indicated by for example, Vuyani dance theatre, who have multiple and sometimes large theatre groupings from all over the world showing African dance and in fact Alcazaba has been a central point in hosting many of such event attendance.
In the same vein, Newtown being walking distance from Alcazaba, there are indigent African restaurants with African food demonstrated by a similar event held in New York to show African indigent foods and almost to what has been held in Newtown.
Historical, cultural and items of interest abound in Fordsburg and immediate surrounding Newtown Precinct, Braamfontein and Triomf.
