 De Wildt Cheetah
& Wildlife RC
The Cheetah has been gravely endangered throughout Africa. Man's encroachment
with cattle on traditional hunting territory places the animal on the list
of "pests and vermin" and small carnivore is frequently chased from its prey
by lions, hyenas and even jackals. Thanks to conservation and breeding programmes
such as this and the famous Varty's the trend has been slowed, but the animal
remains imperilled
Tours can also be facilitated to:
Newton Arts precinct: The Victorian Fruit and Vegetable
Market and the electricity generating buildings have been rescued from the
demolisher's hammers and converted to other functions such as arts, television
and film schools, Museum Africa and:
The Market Theatre: home of protest theatre in the Apartheid
era and, in particular,the genius of Athol Fugard and John Kani, this theatre
(in the old market hall) fostered the international hits such as
Sophiatown and Sarafina and the Olivier award winning work
by the Handspring Puppet Company
Johannesburg Art Gallery: has the world's finest collections
of indigenous and colonial-period art, prints, and sculpture. Various other
thriving commercial galleries are scattered throughout the city and
environs
Sterkfontein Caves - Cradle of Mankind: the site of
the oldest fossils of Man's earliest ancestor. Constant scientific exploration
takes place above ground and around the vast underground lake in one of its
grotto complexes
