The Ponte City skyscraper in Johannesburg, once a sought-after location, fell into disrepair in the 1980s and 1990s and became associated with crime and decay. However, it underwent a facelift before the 2010 FIFA World Cup and now houses middle-class families. The tower offers stunning views of Johannesburg, but the surrounding area remains rundown and unsafe. The Dlala Nje foundation has been offering walking tours of the neighborhood, aiming to change negative perceptions about the area. Despite progress, there is still work to be done to overcome the building's reputation.
