South Africa Travel + Tourism Guide: Brightwater Commons

Brightwater Commons

The Brightwater Commons, formerly the Randburg Waterfront in Johannesburg, is a version of the popular V&A Waterfront development in Cape Town.

Built in 1996, this huge entertainment and shopping complex is built around an artificial lake fed by the Jukskei River. The centerpiece is a number of illuminated musical water fountains shooting up to 50m high. The fountains operate from 7.30pm to 8.30pm on Mondays to Thursdays and at 7pm, 8pm and 9pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

There are over 50 restaurants, plus shops, pubs and children's entertainments at the still expanding site.

The redeveloped Brightwater Commons has green open spaces, a multiplex cinema, skatepark, mini-golf, Lazerquest shooting game (similar to paintball), banks, a flea-market and a Pick-n'-Pay supermarket.
