Rediscover Pretoria was born out of the curiosity within all of us
to discover new things. It’s the unknown of the world around us that challenges
us to learn more. It was French novelist, Marcel Proust, who said, “The voyage of
discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.”
There is so much right in front of our eyes, in our own backyard that is
waiting to be rediscovered. We have lived and grown up right here in the
capital city, but how much of it do we go out and experience? Rediscover
Pretoria dares us to go out and find the parts of our own city that are waiting
for us to come and experience.
Rediscover Pretoria is a group of mates living in Pretoria who
want to see, explore, experience and find what our city and the surrounding
area has to offer. Each month a member of the group is tasked with finding a
new event somewhere in Gauteng that we will venture out to “rediscover”. While
traditions will be added along the way, we already have a few that have
started. For each event, those attending have to wear a pair of funky
sunglasses, just like those worn by the hip Oom Paul and Oom Tshwane on our
front page. The other is the strict rule of carrying a Rediscover Pretoria
passport to all events.
So if you feel the urge to Rediscover Pretoria, join the group and
come and join us on our next event.”
