Yes, Richmond is a small area across the road from the Milpark , down the road from the SABC, near to Melville etc. to Brixton, If you look at where Barry Hertzog transects the road that runs from town out towards RAU and Helen Joseph

Well you taught me something - I was not aware that there was a suburb called "Richmond" in Johannesburg!

Yes Jozimike, there is, if you come up from Town.heading towards the T-section 1st robot past the Holiday inn turn right,small shopping centre on the left,used to have a good night club/music restuarant downstairs, road does an S-Bend, when you reach the second road left,thats the end of Richmond, its only about 10 acres square.
Nice little suburb, i heard a noise one night outside,saw a young black guy trying to drag a young black woman towards the Bushes, I stepped outside and shouted,woman saw me and managed to struggle across the road still being held into my driveway,I gave him three warnings and was about to shoot him through the head, when he saw me and released her.
he was deaf and had'nt heard my warnings.
