We loved sharing this competition with you, as part of Johannesburg In Your Pocket's overarching aim to encourage appreciation of the beauty in our city. It's our signature to activate neighbourhoods and promote welcoming attractions you might otherwise overlook. Thanks for joining us on this #CosmosInYourPocket adventure to celebrate a special part of what Joburg has to offer. See some pics of the walk we hosted with Kennedy Tembo of Microadventure Tours at Delta Park here. It was a brilliant day out, and we're looking forward to doing it all again in 2026.
Now, drum roll please, the winner is...
