Luckily most of the traffic lights worked! But for the pothole situation... It was so bad that even the taxis drove less than 20km/h. It must be a weird experience to have seen the building in its heyday vs. now. Sad situation. I think most of the cities in South Africa suffers that fate... But good memories to hold onto.

Yeah, the city has deteriorated over the years, even when there were so many promises to fix it. So many great buildings in the city are shells nowadays, and many are hijacked to house people. Not safe to walk in the streets anymore, and one has to have eyes in the back of the head at all times.
So, only memories remain.
