    You should visit Sandton City (Mall) briefly, then take the Gautrain to Pretoria.. walk to the city centre, then take a taxi (those 'vans') or Uber up to Hatfield Plaza/Square (passed the American Embassy). Check out the University of Pretoria student vibe there, then hit the local Gautrain station there for a ride back to Joburg. Pretoria is our capital city, just about 40 mins minutes north of Joburg in the late afternoon. Best executed on a Friday because a lot of people will be out and about, coming from work as well as getting the weekend going.

I'll be going to Zimbabwe for the first time as well. If you have been to Zimbabwe, do you have any recommendadation or to do list for Harare area? Is there a fee to enter the country?

In 1895 the city prodiced more gold than the USA. It has the largest main made suburban forest in the world with the best weather and friendly people.

      It's called Orania and is some distance from JHB.
      Built on the site of an old government made town housing workers to build HF Verwoerd Dam, currently gariep dam, once the dam was completed an Afrikaaner community bought the land for a song and moved in. Important points here it's an Afrikaaner town, not a white town. To be considered for residency there you must be Afrikaaner and Christian. No unmarried couples allowed and probably no LGBT people either.
      The community has spent 30 years building a town based upon Christian values not racial lines.
      It is one of few municipalities running without a deficit and exports agricultural products around the world.
      It's status is protected by the RSA constitution.
      If you want a similar comparison think about the Amish communities or Hasidic communities in the USA.
