The City of Johannesburg is considering the development of new ‘mega tourism’ projects as a way of attracting more tourists to the city.
The proposal is included in the city’s new draft Integrated Development Plans (IDP) which is currently open for public comment.
“Which key areas in the city would you say need the biggest upgrade and why?”Ask Thomas and Skhumba on the Morning Show.
Thomas says: “For example, Hillbrow, Berea all those places have potential. I wish we could just clean it up again. In Yeoville you could walk in the street at any time of the night.”
Skhumba would like to see Ebuhleni in Tembisa get a revamp. “It had swimming pools, had a golf course in the township,” he adds.
A listener shares: “I think Carlton center needs a touch-up. They must open up the skyscraper there where you go up to the 50th floor. you can see the whole of Johannesburg from there. People from Goldreef city used to take tourists there. It’s a good attraction.”
Ruth, calling in from Kagiso would love to see the showgrounds in Pretoria revamped.
“The place I would love to see revamped is the Pretoria Showgrounds. We used to go there around August, and September. It was the same as the Rand Show, we used to go there a lot,” she shares.
I would like to see Eyethu in Mfolo,Soweto Become a bipscope again. My aunts & mom were taken to dates there. I am 36 but have never been inside Eyethu. Even 5 roses #ThomasAndSkhumba

Odi stadium in Mabopane please. We grew up going there for school athletics, we need that place revived for soccer matches, it would do good for the tourism industry. #ThomasAndSkhumba

#ThomasAndSkhumba I would like to see Kings Cinema in Alex upgraded. Because it is near to my home🙈, I use to go there to watch 8pm movie. I don’t need to use transport to go there. @thomasmsengana @skhumbi @djkeyez
