Originally called the Brixton or Albert Hertzog Tower, construction started in 1958 and was completed in 1962. Towards 2001, naming rights for the tower were sold to Sentech, one of South Africa's first wireless internet service providers. Up until 1982, an observation deck affording panoramic views of the city was open to the public, but was closed in due to rising fears of insurgent fighting by black South African political activists. The tower has not re-opened since.
