Non Jo-burgers need a map.

Everyone who has lived in Jo'burg seems to retain a sentimental attachment to it in some way. Ivan V is one of the 'stayers' although he has moved from the now quite volatile Eastern suburbs, to the safer, more affluent North. His observations and memories of the city always make for entertaining and educational reading. He helps us remember what an exciting and extraordinary place it is in spite of its rapid decline and ongoing problems. My only criticism is that I don't know the geography and would have loved a reference map showing the places he is writing about, and even maybe some photo's.
