There are many things that are unique to
Johannesburg
It features a distinct street entrepreneurship, and motorists can buy
things from vendors selling goods at traffic lights, as in many other
developing-world cities.
This includes food, umbrellas, soccer balls, cellular phone
accessories and many other goods. Barber shops consisting of nothing
but a chair and an enthusiastic barber can be found on the sides of
roads, although they tend to specialize in African rather than
Caucasian hair. Mine dumps can also be seen throughout the city and
are a reminder of the city's legacy of gold mining. These dumps are
fast disappearing as new gold extraction techniques have made it
profitable for mining companies to reprocess these dumps.
