About this audio guide
This guide to Rosebank Sunday Market in Johannesburg starts with the suburb's years as a whites-only zone under apartheid's Group Areas Act, and the odd idea, in 1992, of turning the mall's rooftop parking deck into a weekly market. You'll hear how galleries and businesses fleeing the city center reshaped these streets, and meet the mix of stalls, Zulu beadwork, secondhand vinyl, live music, that fill the rooftop every Sunday. It traces what that gathering means set against the suburb's fenced-off past.
