Thank you for the comments. There is a lot of action in the cbd. Hillbrow resembles a building site, with lot of refurbs. But the fall from grace was hard - and allthough bad buildings are dissapearing, a lot remain. And as crackdowns on Hillbrow, Berea and Yeoville intensify - hi-jackers move to doornfontein, malvern etc.

Even in the very posh marshalltown there are problematic buildings. By-law enforcement is better, but problems still remain. Bree Street is a mess with the taxis, and Noord Street taxi rank around JAG and Joubert Park looks better, safer and cleaner, but it is still a disgrace.

All in all the city is safe... I walked everywhere (I do this on a weekly basis).
