Vergeet deur sweet

Diep binne Diepsloot is ’n ruimte wat die inwoners beskryf as “ ’n plek waar jy jou probleme kan vergeet en ontspan”. Dit is nou Diepsloot se park.

Die park in die township, wat in die noorde van Johannesburg geleë is, het onlangs ’n buitelug-gimnasium gekry. Dit is maar die tweede in sy soort in die Goudstad.
Die toerusting is só ontwerp dat die gewig van die mens wat oefen, gebruik word om weerstand te skep. Dus is elektrisiteit nie nodig nie.
Edward Madunda hou ’n ogie oor sake. Hy is opgelei om die gimnasium in stand te hou en dien sommer ook as nuwe besoekers se instrukteur. Madunda sê meer as 300 mense kom oefen daagliks hier.
“Ons is lief vir al die mense wat deur die hek loop, hulle is almal ons broers en sisters,” sê Madunda.

Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian Garden

The Nan Lian Garden is a true escapism from the busy city. This tranquil oasis is landscaped over an area of 3.5 hectares, in which every hill, rock, body of water, plant and timber structure has been placed according to specific rules and methods. ‘Nan Lian’ literally means, South Lotus or ‘Lotus from the South’.

The Chi Lin Nunnery was founded in 1934 but was rebuilt in the 1990s following the style of Tang Dynasty traditional Chinese architecture. The present-day buildings are wood frame buildings built without the use of any iron nails. This construction is based on traditional Chinese architectural techniques dating from the Tang Dynasty that uses special interlocking systems cut into the wood to hold them in place. The Chi Lin Nunnery buildings are the only buildings to be built in this style in modern day Hong Kong. - Wikipedia.
