Hillbrow Tower on fire[edit]

I saw smoke billowing out of the tower at 6.00 am on 29 October 2010. According to the news the fire has now been extinguished. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.213.111.58 (talk) 06:35, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Closed due to "security reasons"?[edit]

What are these "security reasons"? I know, having lived in SA as a white kid with bomb threats always a possibility during the 1980s, but my anecdotal experience does not count as a reliable source. "Security reasons" is just a bit too vague for my liking - maybe even weasel words. Bernd Jendrissek (talk) 09:50, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
