The Hillbrow Tower

The Hillbrow Tower, located in Johannesburg, South Africa, is a tall communication and radio broadcasting tower standing approximately 270 meters (890 feet) high. Built in the early 1970s, it served primarily as a telecommunications hub, helping transmit radio, television signals, and phone communications across the region. Its distinctive cylindrical design makes it a notable landmark in Johannesburg’s skyline. While it was once a symbol of technological progress, the tower has experienced periods of neglect and is now a reminder of the city’s urban history. It remains an important part of South Africa’s broadcasting infrastructure.
