With its four 180-foot minarets and a main dome rising more than 100 feet, the Nizamiye Mosque stands as a beautiful example of Turkish architecture adapted for its place in South Africa. Said to be rhe largest mosque anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere, it is well worth seeing on a visit to Midrand.

What a breathtakingly amazing place. Pity you can't take photos though. Went there the Saturday before Chinese New Year and got to throw a couple of wishes into their tree! My soul felt enriched...
