Braamfontein is getting a major facelift, with precinct manager Kelvin Tshabalala at the helm of efforts to turn Ameshoff Street into a safe, beautiful and walkable 24-hour zone.
From tightening up security with 68 CCTV cameras to tackling weeds and broken pavements, Tshabalala is hands-on — and he’s not afraid to make a call when something’s out of place.
The area is already showing signs of revival: students, creatives and office workers fill the streets, while landmarks like the Nelson Mandela Bridge are shining after recent upgrades.
With help from Bad Boyz Security, JMPD and community policing, crime has dropped — and with over 40,000 Wits students in the area, Braam is buzzing again.
Tshabalala says it’s all about teamwork, and the goal is clear: to make Braamfontein a vibrant, well-managed cultural and business hub once more.
