For the first ten days of June we will be significantly marking down a different book each day that is special to the Bridge Books journey.
Today’s offering is The Chaos Precinct by Tanya Zack, an author, urban planner and journalist (and a friend of Bridge!).
In The Chaos Precinct, Zack does a deep-dive into inner-city Joburg, with a particular focus on Rahima Moosa Street — formerly Jeppe Street — and the lives of the Ethiopian migrants who shape, advance and endure the area. Amidst a stern crackdown on all informal sellers in town pre-emptive of last year’s G20 (read more about that here), the book is a poignant excavation of a makeshift shopping hub that emerged without any formal planning intention or support, and its huge effects on locals and cross-border shoppers alike, in which annual revenue generated is twice that of Sandton City’s.
