The Hillbrow Tower (officially the Telkom Joburg Tower, and formerly JG Strijdom Tower) is a tall tower located in the suburb of Hillbrow in Johannesburg, South Africa. At 269 m (883 ft), it was the tallest tower in Africa for 50 years, until it was surpassed in 2021 by the 393.8 m (1,292 ft) Iconic Tower in Egypt's New Administrative Capital, as well as the continent's tallest structure for eleven years, until overtaken by the Nador transmitter in Morocco; it remained Africa's tallest free-standing structure for two more years until overtaken by the chimney of the Sasol III Steam Plant in 1984. For seven years it was also the tallest structure in the Southern Hemisphere until 1978, when surpassed by the 270 m Mount Isa Chimney in Queensland, Australia. It remains the tallest telecommunications tower in Africa. Construction of the tower began in June 1968 and was completed three years later, in April 1971. Construction cost 2 million rand (at the time, US$2.8 million). The tower was initially known as the JG Strijdom Tower, after JG (Hans) Strijdom, South African Prime Minister from 1954 to 1958. On 31 May 2005 it was renamed the Telkom Joburg Tower.
Die Hillbrow-toring is 'n toring in Johannesburg, Suid-Afrika. Dit is in die gelyknamige buurt, is tussen Junie 1968 en April 1971 opgerig, en op 270 meter hoog een van die hoogste strukture in Afrika. Dit is oorspronklik genoem na die voormalige eerste minister J.G. Strijdom, maar staan tans bekend as die Hillbrow-toring. Dit behoort aan Telkom, en is hoofsaaklik opgerig om as mikrogolftoring te dien, en gevolglik moes dit hoër as die omliggende woonstelgeboue wees. Vroeër het die boonste verdiepings as toeristeaantreklikheid gedien met 'n uitkykpunt vir 200 mense asook 'n draairestourant. Dit is egter om veiligheidsredes in 1981 gesluit en dien tans as kantore vir Telkom.
La Hillbrow Tower (officiellement rebaptisée Telkom Joburg Tower en 2005) est une tour de communication située à Hillbrow, dans l'agglomération de Johannesbourg. Haute de près de 270 mètres, elle constitue l'un des repères majeurs du paysage urbain de la capitale du Gauteng. Elle semble faire écho à la Sentech Tower (237 mètres), seconde tour de télécommunication de la métropole sud-africaine, élevée quelques années plus tôt dans le quartier de Brixton.
