Nestled in a secret undisclosed champagne cellar, accessible only via a secret passageway disguised as a bookcase, in a Sandton coffee shop, lives THE SANDTON TIMES. For more than 10-years, it is here that the blog’s content creators sit in tan leather swivel chairs, sipping away at almond-milk hazelnut lattes, curating stories from fountain pen stained pages of an Italian calf leather notebook. As a leading voice, THE SANDTON TIMES chronicles life in Africa’s richest square mile and beyond.
