Who We Are

BECA’s perimeter comprises Belvedere Road (to the west), the M5 (to the east), Chichester Road to Garfield Road ; Garfield Road to Imam Haron Road ; Imam Haron Road to the M5 (to the south), and Milner & Kromboom Roads (to the north).
BECA forms part of the City of Cape Town’s Ward 58 that is represented by Councillor Kate Christie, alongside other civic associations in Claremont, Rondebosch and Kenilworth.
