The spherical design of the water tank is based on a German design and was partially imported from Europe. The distinctive onion shape of the tower dominates the hill on which it sits, North-East of the Johannesburg city. The unusual design of the Yeoville Water Tower and its elevated, prominent position make it a landmark structure in the Johannesburg suburban skyline.

About Johannesburg

Johannesburg is South Africa's dynamic economic heart, a city of powerful history, vibrant townships and art, where many safari journeys begin.

The Apartheid Museum tells the story of segregation and resistance with great power, and Constitution Hill, a former prison where both Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi were held, is home to the Constitutional Court. In Soweto, Vilakazi Street is famous as the street where two Nobel Peace Prize laureates, Mandela and Desmond Tutu, once lived, and the Hector Pieterson Memorial recalls the student uprising of 1976.
