Sentech Tower
Sentech Tower, also known as and originally called the Brixton Tower or Albert Hertzog Tower, respectively, is a concrete television tower in the Brixton suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa. It is a well-known and easily identifiable landmark in the city, alongside its "architectural cousin", the Hillbrow Tower.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://plak.co.za/moreinfo.php?id=18954 )〕
== History ==
The Sentech Tower's construction commenced in 1961, completing its year-long construction in 1962. The tower was designed by Ove, Arup and Partners and built by Christiani and Nielsen SA. Upon completion, the Sentech Tower was the tallest man-made structure in the whole of Africa in its time until it was eventually overtaken by the Hillbrow Tower.〔〔〔
The first transmission took place 22 December 1961. Presently Sentech broadcast 18 FM programs and 7 TV stations. Backup power to the tower is 1MW using two 500 kVa Volvo Generators. Towards 2001, naming rights for the tower were sold to Sentech, the TV and radio signal distributor in South Africa that is owned by the South African Government. Up until 1982, an observation deck affording panoramic views of the city was open to the public, but was closed due to rising fears of insurgent fighting by South African anti-Apartheid activists. The tower viewing deck has not re-opened to the public since then.〔〔〔〔〔
