CAPE Town is to fast-track its upgrade of the Company's Garden in the city centre, with visible improvements expected within the next two weeks. This according to the City of Cape Town’s official website. "The Company's Garden is one of the most valuable historic urban parks in South Africa. Its gradual decay over the last few decades has now reached critical levels and the City of Cape Town has embarked on a holistic approach to revitalise this asset as part of a long term strategy for the central city," says Nomsa Mlanjeni, mayor committee member for health, amenities and sport. According to Christa le Roux, director of open space and nature conservation, eight extra gardeners and four private security guards have been appointed and R50 000 has been allocated for landscaping services.
