STATEMENT ON THE PASSING OF SHAUN JOHNSON FROM ROB KANE, CHAIRPERSON OF THE BOARD OF THE CAPE TOWN CENTRAL CITY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT (CCID) AND TASSO EVANGELINOS, CCID CEO

It is with shock and sadness that the Board of Directors, CEO and management of the Cape Town Central City Improvement District have learnt of the untimely death of Shaun Johnson.

Shaun made a huge contribution to the management of downtown Cape Town in his tenure as Chairperson of the former Cape Town Partnership, a public-private partnership organisation formed in 1999 to develop and promote the CBD, and to which the CCID was affiliated.

“Shaun keenly understood what was required to ensure a successful CBD and was a key role player in the rejuvenation of the Cape Town Central City.

“He was a visionary, who was highly skilled in getting opposing parties to work towards the common good, and we will always remember his eloquence, his sense of fairness and his personable manner.”

The CCID Board of Directors, its CEO and staff extend their deepest condolences to his wife, Stefania, and their daughter, as well as to his former colleagues at the Mandela Rhodes Foundation.
