Orlando Power Station, Soweto Towers

This guide to Orlando Towers in Soweto opens with a 2014 partial collapse of the old power station next door, and the tourist attraction that kept operating regardless. It traces the plant's history from 1955, cooled by sewage effluent from the nearby Klipspruit works, through its 1998 shutdown, to the bungee operation that took over the towers in 2009. Muralist Karabo Poppy Moletsane, whose family roots run through Soweto, is one of the artists behind the paintings now covering the concrete.
