The iconic Ponte Tower in Berea, Joburg city centre. In 1975 it was the tallest skyscraper in Africa & quite the place to live, the inner core is open to allow light and air to the inner rooms. It then fell into decay, a centre for gangs and drugs with rubbish thrown into the core 5 storeys high. Now there is a programme of regeneration.
