About Randburg

It's polite to wait for the host to invite you to start eating. Tipping 10-15% is expected in restaurants.

Minibus taxis are a common but informal mode of transport. They don't follow fixed schedules, so ask locals for guidance.

The Randburg Waterfront often hosts seasonal markets and festivals, especially around Christmas and Easter.

Try 'biltong' (dried cured meat) and 'boerewors' (a type of sausage), which are South African favorites.

Public drinking is generally frowned upon, and smoking is banned in public indoor spaces.

Use ride-hailing apps instead of metered taxis for better rates, and visit local markets for affordable souvenirs.

Always ask for permission before photographing people, especially in markets or cultural events.

English is widely spoken, but learning a few phrases in Afrikaans or Zulu can be appreciated.

Support local businesses, avoid single-use plastics, and use public transport or walk when possible.
