Havana is in Cape Town - The Demography of a Concert Hall
BOOK REVIEWS
I presented this story at the Valentine's Day Johannesburg Heritage Foundation celebration on the lawns of Northwards and thought Heritage Portal readers would also enjoy this South African story of love, endurance and resilience against the backdrop of the Second World War. It was one of seven presented at this event.

Hermann Kallenbach (1871-1945), pioneer Johannesburg architect and friend of M K Gandhi, developed Linksfield and Linksfield Ridge in the 1930s. He cut Kallenbach Drive and Kallenbach Pass out of the natural koppie rock, using dynamite to make roads. A skilled stonemason, he built this dry stone wall with the help of African workmen. Steps fashioned into the mountainside led to the homes in New Mountain Road.
