Jo'HustleBurg (Johannesburg)

The Name Says It All, The City Of GOLD.
Since I Moved To Johannesburg My Mind Set Has Change. I Have Some Drive Knocking At The Back Of My Head Saying "Time Is Money, literally 5 Minutes is a lot just to blink, look left and look right and chew gum. What i'm trying to say is the essence of time is valued. At the early hours of the day 3 - 4 am people are talking, Some are shouting out brand names like they should for their GODS. No Matter How Cliché It sounds I  repeat "Time Is Money".

Johannesburg (Jo'hustleburg) seems to have the urge of making people hungry for more and success in a nutshell. Everybody on the streets is glued to some type of hustle, none in specific but just a few that could get them by. A life that is of a hierarchy one that maintains to sustain. The life in Joburg is ironically living up to the name "City OF GOLD", with every bodies hands in the "POT OF GOLD". The Air here is DIFFERENT, it says be ambitious, be dedicated, Be Inquisitive, be focused and attack so silent that Joburg was never ready for you. I Literally am motivated everyday, I think of when I was younger and didn't have as much opportunities I do now. That unravels a lot of mistakes made and opportunities lost due to misunderstandings. BUT I still have that fire which makes me feel so GOOD on what's to come next.

I Love living here, the street culture, the ambience, the architecture, the graffiti, the art and all the buildings I see on TV, Daammn I feel like I made it, the aura this place has inspires me to be better and do better, "My Heart Is In The City", I will certainly move out the city but i'll surely always be in the city. Out of so many areas that offer different vibes but still leave you jaw dropped. We all know that all the cool kids will hangout at braam, artists actors and music video producers, Then you get Newtown that's so lively because of its artistic element, with the lyrical theatre, baseline and Mary fitzglen square being the attractions.
Maboneng (Arts on main) being so chilled and laid back it makes me wanna get married to my partner and spend the rest of free time there. Art and food at one place mmmhhhhhmmmm that simmers well with me. Then there is "New Yorker" where everybody goes but denies because it's dirty and unsafe. What About Hillbrow?? Hahaha I know the sigh, damn Hillbrow is too real for me... I need some cheesy reason for me to go to Hillbrow, but anyways we love it, it's a piece of the big pie. If it wasn't there then johannesburg wouldn't be what it is.

Jozi I Love You...

(Background)
Johannesburg also known as Jozi, Joburg and eGoli) is the largest city in South Africa and is one of the 50 largest urban areas in the world. It is the provincial capital of Gauteng, which is the wealthiest province in South Africa. While Johannesburg is not one of South Africa's three capital cities, it is the seat of the Constitutional Court. The city is located in the mineral-rich Witwatersrand range of hills and is the centre of large-scale gold and diamond trade.

In 2011, the population of the city of Johannesburg was 4,434,827, making it the largest city in South Africa. In the same year, the population of Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area was 7,860,781. Some view the area surrounding the city of Johannesburg yet more broadly than the metropolitan area, adding Ekurhuleni, West Rand and Lenasia; that larger area had a population of 8,434,292 in 2011. The land area of the municipal city (1,645 km2 (635 sq mi)) is large in comparison with those of other major cities, resulting in a moderate population density of 2,364/km2 (6,120/sq mi).

The city was established in 1886 following the discovery of gold on what had been a farm. The city is commonly interpreted as the modern day El Dorado[by whom?] due to the extremely large gold deposit found along the Witwatersrand. The name is attributed to one or all of three men involved in the establishment of the city. In ten years, the population was 100,000 inhabitants.

A separate city from the late 1970s until the 1990s, Soweto is now part of Johannesburg. Originally an acronym for "South-Western Townships", Soweto originated as a collection of settlements on the outskirts of Johannesburg, populated mostly by native African workers from the gold mining industry. Soweto, although eventually incorporated into Johannesburg, had been separated as a residential area for blacks, who were not permitted to live in Johannesburg proper. Lenasia is predominantly populated by English-speaking South Africans of Indian descent.

(Quotes Of Johannesburg)

Working in South Africa and the people in Johannesburg get under your. It stays with you, it's a place I want to take my children back to. It's a place that filled me with great joy and inspiration but also sadness. I think it's one of the complex places on the planet.

- Ryan Phillipe

I am one of four people in Johannesburg who drives at the speed limit and pays his fines. The city council has us on six hour shifts, so it works out.

No second johannesburg is needed upon earth, One is enough.

Fiasco Flaw (Intro)

Fiasco Flaw
(1st Insert)

Just when The Apartheid Regime died out in 1991, all races were still under indoctrinated mode but they could see some change and felt that freedom was coming their way. White people did not lose much but gain alot of wealth, indian people were just as confused as coloured people whom had lost their identity through oppression. Black people had been scared from the era and already started fighting against each other "Civil War" this was also caused by the oppression.

In the midst of all the dibacle phase a boy named "fiasco flaw" was born on the 4th of July by a black South African mother and a black Somalian father. I'm sure you are astonished by the mix of the ethnic groups, yes this was one beautiful combination. The conception took place at the University of Zimbabwe where both parents met there through their studies. It was in 1989 when  these two love birds met, the mother was an academic and the father an athlete, he ran as fast as a cheater (no pun intended),at heart he was a sweet delicate man. The mother was as focused as a thread through a needle, she intended on doing no mistake given all the miles she traveled to come study for her political studies. She had faith that one day she'll go back home and have a hand in the apartheid regime that took place, influence the bi-laws and constitution rights at large, she had quite a plan.

They fell in love deeply, that in the midst of that a baby was conceived. It was no mistake because sex was being had without no condom but quite a shock that the mother suddenly conceived after the two years of rough sex they were having. "FIASCO FLAW" was born at the Zimbabwe district hospital, a healthy strong baby with hazel eyes, weighing at 3.5kg. Now the big question was asked, "The nationality" of the baby, this was a tricky one for both parents, but as the father was understanding he said to file the baby as a South African baby boy. The mother was full of joy and excitement, now for us to name the child. The father said "King Solomon", mmmmmmh no baby of mine will be named after a bible pervet polygamist, how about John Jr ? The father also argued the named saying he himself isn't John, so they argued the whole day trying to find a perfect name fit for this cute baby boy.

Early mornings of the next day, mother was woken by beautiful hymns being sang by a group of church men & women, who were visiting a patient close by. "Jesus is Love" She said, oooh yes he is, look at the beautiful gift he blessed me with, but back at home mother knows nothing. She expects me to bring a degree home not a baby. But wait I'm human, who's to make mistakes and I have flaws, I ain't no perfect. There's a huge storm (Apartheid) at home now and this was the perfect blessing from GOD to end the storm, baby I shall name you "FIASCO FLAW", You'll be a token of my journey, you'll be the calm sea between mountains and your name will even make presidents look twice, you will be no artist but a pioneer, my son I see the rainbow that comes from the east to the west in your eyes, you will heal broken hearts and close broken wounds. And so the boy was named and praised, a beautiful future was expected of him.
