If you really want to see how most South Africans live, you'll have to go to where you'll find us. And, like many people in the world, we need to shop to live. So you'll find an interesting cross-section of our population buying, browsing, busking, eating, drinking, catching up with friends and generally hanging out in the malls, and you'll also find a good selection of things worth buying, things not necessarily created especially for the tourist trade.
