Post a picture/photo that shows the entire skyline of a city in Africa. :) Not half a skyline, or just some buildings, but the whole skyline!

This only shows Lagos Island (CBD) before the renovation work that has been commissioned. Most of the commercial development has ceased there and moved to VI in the past years but with the renovation it will come back to life, and we will hopefully see a sharp rise of more high-rise developments!

Not at all, Inertia's picture actually shows half of Jozi's skyline. This picture perhaps gives a better picture although not as clear as Inertia's picture.

In my opinion, there will be a good number of African cities like the ones above in about two decades if current growth trends for the continent continue.:)

It is, ofcourse, the diamond building (commercial):





11 DIAGONAL STREET: Possibly the most well-liked building in Joburg is 11
Diagonal Street. Built in 1984, this glass building is built in the shape of a diamond, to represent the wealth that Joburg was built on.
