Explore Johannesburg with Lordkez
The energy in Johannesburg is unlike no other. As South Africa’s biggest city and the cultural and economic capital of Africa it draws everyone from hustlers and movers and shakers to tree huggers (it has the world’s largest urban forest).
South African singer Lordkez describes Johannesburg as a very vibrant city, with a lot of different things to do. She grew up in rural South Africa which inspired her spirituality which heavily influences her artistic process and has now made a home in the capital. She shares her favourite things to do in the city.
