From proposals to lovers, friends getting high or children playing – the koppie accepts everyone.
The Lion’s Head of Johannesburg. Northcliff Koppie is no secret, yet first timers in the City of Gold are always surprised by its magnitude.
The expletive usually starts with an “f ” walking the path up to the water tower. Followed by, “I never knew”. Among the cliffs, little groups sit, chattering about the day. But when the pink and orange hues start to paint the sky, a silence sets in it’s sheer beauty. It’s the second highest point in Johannesburg. For years it was known as aasvoëlkop and it still falls in the hunting area of the Black Eagles of Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens – but seeing them is rare.While you can see the CBD from the koppie, the views over Randburg central, Rosebank and Sandton – once separate municipalities but unified after the dawn of democracy – better illustrate Joburg.
