Guided Tour of the Melville Koppies

 

The Melville Koppies Central are a Johannnesburg Heritage Site.

The word "Koppie" is Afrikaans for a ridge.

The site has full time staff employed that do nothing but remove weeds,

such that the flora is as indigenous as can be in an urban setting.

All other work is on a voluntary basis.
