Braamfontein Alive.

Braamfontein Alive. Is all about bringing our community of Braamfontein into a global space and telling the world how we live and contribute to the betterment of our continent

I often hear this; that change is good for any of us but I do not fully understand it until I recently witnessed the drastic change in a community that I live. I love my hood and I always want to be part of it. Since 2009; Braamfontein has engulfed into a place where you want to be either as a professional, business person, student or what have you. Originally, since 2008; I moved into this settle

ment, Braamfontein is a place for students because of major universities and colleges that besiege the place. Moreso; scanty professionals move in and out as a blend of what they offer in some professional set-ups, institutes of higher learning, banks, companies and small businesses commonly owned by vast black foreigners. You have to be here to know it. It is a place where everyone wants to be. Recently as years pass by big companies like "South Point" moved in to solve the ever rising and desperate conducive accommodation needs for students and ever since then things changed! The trends of change in my hood cannot be over-emphasized as I walked down the streets or looked through my rear view, people from all walks of life have transformed Braamfontein to a hub. New small businesses like 70 Juta, 86 Juta, Bannister Hotel, Smoke House, Ithuba Art Gallery, Kitcheners, Neighboorhood Goods; to mention a few, help bring life back into much abandoned community. In the early days of 2011, Braamfontein has changed from boring settlements of students, foreigners and small professionals to a proper community that is of today proud of so many businesses, schools, colleges, universities, art-galleries, museum centre and worship centres like: Cornerstone Church, Hill songs Ministries and not to forget the newly opened spiritual worship centres for Nigerians and Zimbabweans. Life has never being the same again here. When I compare where I am now to where I am coming from I see so many changes and I am glad that I give change a try! Written by Olagunju, Success Taiwo.
