	Mots Pluriels Keith S.O. Beavon
		Strangely, despite apartheid, it was still believed in 1986 that Johannesburg was the only 'world city' in Africa but ironically by 1995, because of the uncertainty of overcoming the legacy of the past, it had been removed from the list (Friedmann 1986, 1995).
		There is also sufficient evidence to suggest that northern Johannesburg might rate well on the scale of criteria for what has been termed the proto-global city (Hall 1997), particularly if allowance is made for its regional setting and role in sub-Saharan Africa or even for the continent as a whole.
		The plan was subsequently denied (Sunday Times 20/12/1998) but Johannesburg's Saturday Star stated in a leading article (on 2/1/1999) that "there is also merit in the government's argument that the office developments in the north have prejudiced fl workers, who find it more difficult to get to work from their homes in places like Soweto".
