Today is a free day due to the demonstration that has been scheduled in Soweto. If you have landed here without viewing any of the previous days, you may want to start at South Africa 2023 Day 1 and view your way up to Day 6.
A good night's sleep works wonders. This is the view from my bedroom window at the Sandton Sun.
I decided to take a stroll around the hotel and see the sights. Here are some views from the outside looking down the street.
Signs for Nelson Mandela Square
Entrance to the Sandton City Mall
Sandton Towers
Sandton Convention Centre
Pictures from the the outside and inside of the Sandton Sun
Diamond Walk
We had access to the Diamond Walk and Mandela Square through the Sandton Sun.
Starting my walk to the stores in the Diamond Walk only to find that the higher end stores were closed early due to the next day being a holiday.
Here are three short videos walking through the mall.
These three well-known establishments were open.
Walking toward Nelson Mandela Square.
