Fourways Mall is transforming grey pavements into green spaces by planting 200 trees along key roads nearby.
Johannesburg City Parks and Zoo donated the trees to support the mall’s ongoing beautification project, which began after informal traders were relocated to create space.
The planting, led by landscaper Ishmael Mutileni, focuses on Celtis Africana trees—evergreen, low maintenance, and safe for nearby roads.
The new greenery, lining Winnie Mandela Drive, Fourways Boulevard, and Cedar Road, is expected to bloom in a few months, bringing shade, colour, and fresh life to the area.
Mall representative Nicho Mbhumi says the project aims to improve the environment and experience for both locals and visitors.

Entrepreneur and activist Gugu Sithole is putting rural South Africa on the tourism map with Glamping Adventures, a business offering eco-friendly camping in scenic locations.

In June, she hosted South Africa’s first Glamping Expo in Johannesburg, showcasing eco-cabins, dome tents and travel innovations from over 20 exhibitors.
Sithole says glamping is not just a trend but a way to travel sustainably while building a more inclusive tourism industry.
