For a city purposed to be dying, Johannerburg looks pretty lively on a Saturday moring.    Fleets of mini vans deliver black shoppers from Sweto to the teeming sidewalks downtown, where Zairian hawkers peddle everything from kiwis to toasterovens.    Mozambican barbers shear locks under coloured plastic tents.    The Carlton Centre mall buzzers with chatter in English, French, Zulu and Tswana.    At the fastfood Africa Hut, weary shoppers fortify themselves with oxtail stew and pap, a maize-based starch.    There are few white flight.    "I'm targeting African customers more than whites," says Jabi, who recently opened a jeweller's.    "Look around, they're everywhere."
White South Africans used to boast that Johannesburg was Continental in flavor.    It still is, only now the continent is Africa.    With apartheid ended and laws forbidding black Africans to live in town repealed, "Joburg" has become blacker, poorer and more dangerous.    It is also more vibrant than ever.    "The city is not declining, it's changing," says Lindsay Brmner, a white member of the Greater Johannesburg Metroplitan Council.    "There are real problems, but perception is our biggest."

Plenty of Africans -- white and black -- are willing to invest in the new Johannesburg.    Large retailers like Woolworth's are pumping millions of brands into new, flagship stores.    Black and Asian shopkeepers, doctors and lawyers have moved in to replace the whites who have left.    City planners hope this blend of wealth and Africanization will make Johannesburg the continent's economic and cultural capital.

Now, go through the text quickly and answer the question.
Every half century or so , a leader emerges in his field of such substance and force that he stands out head and shoulder above the rest and the best.

Even to people who have never graced the great opera houses of the world, the name and the voice of Placide Domingo are justifiably hailed.    But for those who will queue all night to share the sheer color of this man's singing, he is a legend.

A legend which can be heard from Hamburg to Paris, from Milan to New York.
But Placido is not simply the world's greatest tenor; rather a complete musician who are possesses a marvellous voice.

At rehearsals, his mastery of the piano enables him to sit and play through the score; thinking of the emotions that words and music are attempting to communicate.
His experience as a conductor gives him objectivity, not only about his own interpretation of the part, but also on the total performance.

"To understand the part," he says, "one must first musically and dramatically understand the whole. I was lucky to have been given the talents to do this."

Placido Domingo also has an extremely good understanding of the watch he choose to wear.
A Rolex Oyster GMT-Master in 18ct. gold.

"This watch is perfect for me," he says, "because it simultaneously tells me the time in two different countries which is extremely useful considering the amount of travelling I have to do.    And opera people all over the world are pleased too, because now I don't get them out of bed when I ring them.    And, unlike me, this watch never needs a rest.    You could say it's my favourite instrument."

For the complete musician.    The complete watch.    By Rolex of Geneva.
