Very cool small, independant DVD and PS2 rental shop, located right on Hatfield Square where you can almost do all your shopping in a radius of 100m.
They seem to be cheaper, compared to other rental shops and have a great selection of DVD's and PS2 games for the kids.
What to buy: Classic movies, cult movies, sci-fi, drama, comedy and releases hot off the circuit. You can also add DVD's to the custemor's whishlist if they don't have a prticular movie. If they can source it, they usually have it on their shelves within 2 or 3 weeks.
What to pay: R16 per new DVD title. R12 per older DVD title, but they have some cool specials and the contract are just ridiculous - they work out to around R5 per DVD - ANY DVD!

This is where the penny-less come to shop (like me...). Not the biggest shopping center by a pretty long way, but it's got what's needed, including cinema's. 7 of course, right across the road is Hatfield square, perfect for a drink after spending all your money!
What to buy: Hatfield Mall is more for convenience goods than anything else, but there are also quite a few restaurants around for a nice dinner or lunch out.
What to pay: Maybe 100 rand, if you buy lots.

Menlyn center, is big, very big... In it you can find almost anything, from an entertainment center with a 12 lane 10-pin bowling alley, to Audi dealerships, cinema's, banking, etc, etc... Including the worlds first roof-top drive in, and a barnyard theatre!
What to buy: Probably due to it's size & location, the prices at the Mall are probably higher than average, although they do have a hypermarket there. Clothes, Computer equipment, Cd's, & sports goods are what i go there for.
What to pay: Easily a couple of hundred rand

Our afternoon visit to the Johannesburg Flea Market was very enjoyable and it only cost 50 cents to get in. We had still been a bit jet-lagged and considered not going at all, but we were glad that we changed our minds and went along with the group. It was Sunday, and the place was really alive with many stalls as well as performers on the pathways themselves. It was fun just to observe the hustle and bustle of this busy place with a hum in the air. We did a little looking for trinkets but only managed to by a belt (for my wife) and a small SA bird book (for me) before we heard the beat of the drums calling us to the dancing session!
What to pay: The leather belt was R20 or US$7
