In this episode, David is staying 24 hours in Johannesburg, South Africa. David’s first stop is the Neighbourgoods Market. This Saturday market is housed in a modernist building that has a spectacular 15-story wall mural by the famed artist Eduardo Villa. The market has farm fresh foods and specialty items.
Second thing to do in Johannesburg is visit the Apartheid Museum. The museum is dedicated to illustrating apartheid and the 20th century history of South Africa.
Afterwards he heads to Vilakazi Street, the only street in the world where two Noble Prize winners lived. President Nelson Mandela and the Archbishop Desmund Tutu. Next up is Nelson Mandela’s House, which has now been turned into a museum.
David then visits to the Orlando Towers. These iconic towers now offer any adrenaline junkie the opportunity to bungee jump! David decided to go for the leap!
And the last place David visits is the Lesedi Cultural Village. Located 45 minutes north of Johannesburg, this cultural village gives people an insight on the lives of five different tribes from South Africa. The five tribes are the Zulu, Xhosa, Pedi, Basotho and Ndebele tribes.

Everyone, this is David Hoffman and I'm in Johannesburg, South Africa.
For the next 24 hours, we're going to be showing you the city.
Right now, we're in the Brehm Fountain neighborhood.
And on Saturdays, they have something here called the Neighbor Goods Market.
Basically, it's vendors selling local clothing, crafts, and produce.
Now, let's go see what they're selling.
Behind me, we have one of the largest museums in South Africa, the Apartheid Museum.
The museum serves as a beacon of hope, showing the world what South Africa went through in its past
and how they're working towards a brighter future.
If you want to learn about the history of South Africa, this is the place to come to.
Bilikazi Street.
This street is world famous because it's the only street in the world where two Nobel Prize winners lived.
The late former president, Nelson Mandela, and also the archbishop, Desmond Tutu.
Right here to my left is the Mandela House.
This is where him and his family lived in the 1960s prior to him being imprisoned.
Now, let's go inside and check out the house.
These are the Orlando Towers.
And what I'm about to do is a bungee jump.
I had no idea I was going to do this today.
My stomach is trembling.
It's been a long time since my last bungee.
We're about to enter Lesedi Cultural Village.
It's located about 45 minutes north of Johannesburg.
And what we're going to see here are five different tribes from South Africa.
We're going to see their way of life, we're going to dance, and we're going to have a Pan-African feast.
Follow me. Let's go inside.
PAN-AFRICAN DANCE
