The Bryanston Nicolway Shopping Mall has changed its name and is now known as the Winifred Mandela Precinct, following the renaming of William Nicol Drive to Winnie Mandela Drive last year.
Winnie, was a politician and anti-apartheid campaigner from South Africa. She was a deputy minister of arts and culture from 1994 to 1996 in addition to her terms as a member of parliament from 1994 to 2003 and from 2009 till her death.
Akani Properties owns the shopping center.
According to Zamani Letjane, chairman of the Akani Group, the 2012-constructed retail center generates R28 million in revenue each month and has an asset value of approximately R26 billion.
“The property was acquired two years ago, with its old apartheid name. We have so many politicians who fought in the struggle and were not properly recognised. We noticed that some of them were recognised in some villages. It has been a thorny issue, that the board members were looking at,’ he added. “We are here to launch the rightful name of this beautiful building. A name that reflects the beauty of the stalwart,”
