We just stumbled across this nugget on Auntie's webpage, it's very much worth a look:

In short, it's about a developer, one Mr Leibmann who has managed to inject new life into a notorious part of Johannesburg.
"We specialise in taking a holistic, neighbourhood approach," said Mr Leibmann
Basically the redevelopment has revolved around improving the area rather than the more brutal approach usually endorsed by our own developers which is basically knock the place down and squeeze in as many houses and flats as possible.
Well done that man!
