There are many craft markets in Johannesburg and the surrounding areas. You will also find plenty of beautifully crafted beadwork and wirework being sold on the roadside and at intersections. Though you will be able to bargain with the locals. Craftsmen and women from all over Africa sell their goods at the Rosebank flea market on Sundays and in a bazaar type shop in the Rosebank mall on week days. Johannesburg has no specific artwork that can’t be bought anywhere else in the country, but there are certainly very good quality shops for this. Much of the African art that you can purchase is actually made in Swaziland or imported from other African nations.

Shopping Malls are very popular in Johannesburg, due to their convenience and safety and the fact that there are few alternatives – although thankfully Jozi is one of the few cities in the country that still has some street life. There are many shopping malls throughout Johannesburg, most have free secure parking, although you have to pay for parking in the more popular malls.
