Musina’s new bigger and better mall extension progressing well

Date: 15 April 2016 By: News Correspondent

The construction of the R320 million Musina Mall, which started four months ago, is going smoothly and prospects that the contractors will meet the March 2017 completion date are promising.

The mall is an extension of the existing Great North Plaza, which currently houses 40 shops. The addition of Musina Mall will increase the Great North Plaza from 14 000 m² to 34 000 m². The mall came about as a result of the partnership between Investec and the Moolman Group, who will develop the centre as co-owners.

Municipal spokesperson Wilson Dzebu says: “Apart from being declared a provincial growth point, the initiative will also play a meaningful role as Musina prepares to become a city in the near future. Upon completion, the mall will influence the highly effective cross-border trade and the establishment of the Special Economic Zone in our border town.

“This will also help to sensitize everyone, especially prospective investors, that there is potential for economic growth here in Musina. The initiative will transform our town into a top investment destination that will attract businesses and direct foreign investment while at the same time accelerating industrial development and realizing the country’s industrial action plan and the new growth path.”

Dzebu says during the construction period, the mall will create approximately 500 job opportunities. 

“Another 500 jobs will be created upon completion and this will help to eradicate the challenge of the high unemployment rate in Musina.”
