The area seen in this image is mostly the suburb of Hillbrow with the JG Strijdom tower (aka Hillbrow tower) clearly visible. Construction of the 269-metre tower began in June of 1968 and was completed three years later in April 1971. It was originally named after the South African Prime Minister of 1954-1958. It has been closed for security reasons since 1981.
