Besides the office in the airport, the Gauteng Tourism Authority has its head office opposite the Market Theatre in Newtown (1 Central Place, corner of Jeppe and Henry Nxumalo sts.; tel. 011/832-2780 or 011/639-1600; www.gauteng.net) -- part of the regeneration of downtown Jozi. Alternatively, visit their satellite kiosk in the Rosebank Mall, at the craft market entrance (tel. 011/340-9111; Mon-Fri 8am-5pm, Sat-Sun 9am-6pm). There's another satellite office in Sandton Square, Entrance 6, Shop L31G, near Postnet (tel. 011/784-9596; Mon-Fri 9am-6pm, Sat 9am-3pm, Sun 10am-2pm). Unfortunately, many of the free publications and brochures are filled with sycophantic ravings about (overpriced) events and venues that pay for advertising space, so be cautious.
For information on Tshwane (formerly Pretoria), you'll find the Tshwane Tourism Information Centre in the Old Nederlandsche Bank Building on Church Square (tel. 012/337-4430; www.tshwane.gov.za; Mon-Fri 8am-4pm).
Need a Jab? -- If you plan to travel farther afield in Africa and haven't consulted a doctor, visit the SAA-Netcare Travel Clinic in Sandton (tel. 011/883-3801, -3802) for up-to-date advice and/or vaccinations and malaria medication.
