The first time I came to Joburg, (like 12 years ago) I was driving along the highway away from the airport and could smell a strange, fairly unpleasant, smell. Mindful of the smell of the Euro-fizz beer factory near the M4, I asked John what the smell was ... thinking it was some factory or other. He said - that's Joburg!
We'd been living in the clear, sweet air of Namibia for about a year then and I really noticed the pollution.
Flying in today on a little Beechcraft twin prop (HATE those aircraft!) I could not believe the brown layer of gaseous sludge that was hanging over the whole of Gauteng. It looked horrible - mucky and thick and it must have had lumps in because the descent was very bumpy.
It's official - Joburg sucks :-(
