Berea is a suburb of Johannesburg, in the South African province of Gauteng. It is located in Region F. A small central section of Berea is Johannesburg's first residential city improvement district (CID). It has a whole new identity - it is safe, clean and a pleasant place to live. The CID has been driven by developer Brian Miller of Ithemba Property Trust. He has been working in Berea, to the east of the city centre, since November 2005 but in the broader area for 15 years. Miller says he is driven by a desire to make a difference. "I only have one shot at the title," he says.
