Marc Latilla does a great job keeping Joburg’s history alive. Here’s a great post on Idols – and Mandys – Nightclub. https://johannesburg1912.com/2011/04/28/doornfontein-part2/
I think I jol’d there one blurry night in 1977.
Not too far from Mandys – Norman House in Doornfontein. Check out Marc’s post to see more Doories places.

Doornfontein, a special suburb that was home to rich plunderers in the gold rush days, then fell upon hard times. It enjoyed a brief revival in respectability and class when we lived there as students ca.1974
