Mural along the walls of a busy pedestrian pathway that links two main parts of Noordgesig.
From the report by The Trinity Session:
“During our many walkabouts, it was interesting to note the connecting corridor between Colin Drive and North Road, and that this ‘pathway’ is a useful and strategic link between two key parts of the upgrade area. The various workshop designs explore ideas of this site as a mini gateway between two streets.”

For over twenty years, the City of Johannesburg has awarded blue plaques to sites of heritage significance, aiming to publicly acknowledge and commemorate special buildings and sites, outstanding personalities, freedom struggles, and events that have shaped our city.
A culmination of research gathered over many years, the Online Johannesburg Heritage Register is being launched on Nelson Mandela Day 18 July 2025.
Among the many heritage sites featured is Chancellor House, the downtown offices of Mandela and Tambo Attorneys in the 1950s. After having been vacant and shuttered for more than a decade, this iconic building is being revived and brought to life once again as offices for the Community Development Department, which oversees the City’s Arts, Culture & Heritage Services.
