Gold Reef City





(See below for minimal narrative.) Photos above: the Anaconda ride in the theme park (Joburg centre in the background); fountain at the entrance to the casino; kitsch decoration...

An amazing irony is that the money for the casino, theme park AND the Apartheid Museum was put up by the Kroc brothers, who made their fortune selling skin-lightening products for black women - products which turned out to have toxic long-term effects.
