The spirit that fuels inquiry and encourages us to advance the frontiers of knowledge is curiosity. This magazine, produced by Wits Communications, makes African research accessible to all those eager to learn, unlearn and relearn our understanding of our world. In this first issue, Curiosity explores “Cities” and follows our researchers’ quest to make sense of how we live, work and move around in cities like Johannesburg, the “largest man-made forest” in the world.
