Worked in Benoni in 1975 for a short while. Was a bustling place, today all shopfronts are shuttered, place looks run down like Johannesburg. Afrika addio.....

@@saucerer4844 I feel for you. I loved living there in the 80's. Now it looks like just another undeveloped country.

lived there in the 80's and went back for the first time after 30 something years in November 2022 and I can confirm that its become a sh*&le.
How is it possible that functioning yet ill country (due to apartheid) disintegrated in such a way? One would expect that as soon as you extracted apartheid out of the equation there would be enough for everyone. Seems not. Just sheer destruction of a lovely country.
Downtown Benoni nowadays looks like a warzone.
