Africa's tallest apartment building was built for luxury but filled with garbage

The enclosed space at the center of the cylindrical apartment block was to house shops and a dry ski slope; But Ponte Tower fell into disrepair, and became a dirty, dangerous place. Philip Bloom's short film shows a pile of detritus three stories high where Ponte Tower's dry ski slope should be. He tells the story of a tower that grew more dilapidated over 30 years, as Johannesburg's moneyed classes moved away from the city center and out to the suburbs.
