On Saturday, July 9th, the senor missionaries had our monthly activity - A Red Bus Tour of Johannesburg. It was fun - Elder and Sister Forsyth brought Krispy Kreme donuts for everybody!
Elder and Sister Smith - we sat on the top of the bus - but under the partial roof - it wasn't too cold.
View of the City from a hill - there was so much information about the history and settling of 'Gold City' - Jo-burg.
This is an old private school - very well known, situated in the area of some of the oldest mansions, built by the gold mine owners - the city built a freeway in front of them after 1994 and apartheid was out.
Elder and Sister Swift sitting in front of the bus - we all learned a good deal about the almost 6 million people in the Jo-burg metropolitan area. Diverse and growing every year. More jobs are here than in any other city in the
Part of the down town streets - Johannesburg has the best economy of any city on the continent of Africa...early tied to the gold and diamond mines. Banking and all other opportunities are here.
Some of the newer apartment buildings that are part of the Central Business District. It has gotten so bad on the streets, that senior couples are not allowed to go there - too much crime - sad. These white taxi busses are everywhere! They bring a lot of workers into the city from the townships.
