Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses the transformations of the city of Johannesburg as it is presented in some of Nadine Gordimer’s post-Apartheid novels, in Achmat Dangor’s Bitter Fruit and in the 2009 film District 9. The aspects of home, relocation and violence are also examined as they are closely related to this multiracial and multicultural South African city.
