A shot of the astonishing Maponya Mall in Soweto, courtesy of Google Earth. Not hard to find from space. Ground level video of the opening in 2007 here. Ray Lewis of the Bloggers’ Tour took this video. Note the motorcyclists in the parking lot. Representative of a trend among upwardly mobile Sowetans. Body-building also seems in. And here’s a good pic of the main entrance hall with Xmas tree, from Deshanta Naidoo’s Flickr photostream.
