@CityPowerJhb power out in Craighall since 2:20pm today. Ref: CPWEB4395229

Saturday was a great high point but I do think we should have had more respect for the Haka. Not sure if it was a scheduling issue, especially with the flyover being a hell of a display to pull off logistically, but each part of the pre-game build up should have its time to shine

@GovernmentZA there seems to be a problem with your website. I can't seem to access any gov.za pages.

It's so important to look after publications like the @dailymaverick. We need them to be the ones who hold those in power accountable. #DMShutdown

Let’s talk about the Telkom Joburg Tower - once the tallest tower in Africa This iconic Hillbrow tower is the same tower that features in Joburg City’s official logo. Previously known as JG Strijdom Tower after JG Hans Strijdom - the South African Prime Minister between 1954 - 1958. It was renamed Telkom Joburg Tower on 31 May 2005.  Quick facts about the tower: ☎️ Floors: 63 ☎️ Owner: Telkom ☎️ Construction ended: 1971 ☎️ Construction began: 1968 ☎️ Construction cost: R2 million ☎️ Height to the antenna: 269m ☎️ Height to the top floor: 204m ☎️ Diameter of the building: 13.70m In 1966, the increasing number of tall buildings being built in #Johannesburg began to interfere with microwave transmissions which were essential for the long-distance telephone of the time in South Africa. This telecommunications tower was commissioned by the South African Department of Public Works. It needed to be higher than its neighbouring buildings and constructed quickly to avoid disruption to telecommunication services.  The construction process needed to be quick and they made use of plenty pre-casting. Construction took place 6 days a week, 24 hours a day. The first 178 metres went up at an average of 18cm per hour. A laser beam was used to make sure that the tower was built perfectly vertical. The tower walls are 84cm thick at ground level and 38cm thick at the top. During construction, the steel mast at the top was installed with a helicopter.  Individuals were allowed to visit 6 top floors of the tower including an observation floor up until 1981. The viewing floor presented 360 degree views and could accommodate up to 200 people. The tower has been closed to the general public due to security reasons. One of the floors housed a revolving restaurant called Heinrich's Restaurant that seated 108 guests. Heinrich’s was once the tallest restaurant in Africa and turned a full 360 degrees on the hour with only a 3 horsepower motor. When the restaurant was full, it weighed 64 metric tons.  There was also another restaurant called the Grill Room that room seated 113 people. The tower had its own disco called Cloud 9 and an exclusive VIP room decorated in Louis XVI style. Parties and meetings of 50 - 100 people could be hosted in the VIP room. The building had 3 elevators. 2 for guests and 1 for staff. They moved up at 6m per second. The tower is now used as Telkom offices. Got any memories connected to this building? Please do share below.
