A Foray
Ignorant, stupid or brave? I’m not sure which category we belong in but yesterday we did it again. What you ask!
We have a few days in Johannesburg before heading off into the wilds of Botswana. Making the most of our time we decided to visit a gallery close to the downtown area called the Wits Gallery. We didn’t phone before we went and we should have.
Upon arrival we discovered there was almost nothing on display other than some paintings from the 1970s and 1980s and most done by American artists.
We didn’t spend long and decided to walk to Constitution Hill from the Wits Gallery. Everyone tells you not to walk in downtown Johannesburg – well, we did. And nothing happened other than walking too far for too long!
We made it to Constitution Hill which is the centre for the Constitutional Court and the offices of the Chief Justice. A beautiful new building with an interior covered in a lot of art.

Wow. I know I’m hard to shop for but that bead-encrusted “bird-being” will do nicely for Christmas. Also, that’s a fine Mandela quote you pinched from the wall. All who know you pray ongoing exposure to his moral-legacy will keep you on a Higher Road. Also … maybe don’t keep pushing your luck in Johannesburg after dark.
