I drove through the JHB city centre last week. Please Herman, go and take another look with your eyes open. Revitalization, Regeneration, Resurrection, sorry for you, it wont happen. Not in 100 years. Never mind your lick of paint and all the rest. First, ban the taxis from entering the centre, say a one mile radius, OR make them change their driving habits.(lol) Second, get all the robots working properly, and make the JMPD effective and incorruptible.  Three, change the mindset of the inner city dwellers and outer city working people about cleanliness and rubbish collection. Four, Ria Vaya is a disaster. Muddled thinking by whoever pushed this 'brilliant' idea through should be in prison. Narrowing already narrow streets, please! The taxi's and Ria Vaya have transformed the city centre into another Nairobi. It IS a traffic Hell.
'World Class African City?' Give me a break.
