Eastern Cape Premier Nosimo Balindlela will on Thursday officially open the multi-million Rand Mdantsane Shopping Centre, the second largest mall in the entire province.
Balindlela and Billion Group chairman Sisa Ngebulana will be joined by thousands of Mdantsane township residents expected to witness the opening of the mall.
According to the Office of the Premier and Billion Group, the mall is part of Billion Group's vision to see the East London area developing into a tourism Mecca with advanced infrastructure and major facilities benefiting a growing city.
The total investment value of the centre is R520m and is expected to attract between 600,000 and 700,000 visitors a month, due to its location.
The mall is situated in the heart of the township with easy access from all the directions of the township.
The Mdantsane City Shopping Centre is the second largest shopping centre in the Eastern Cape, after Port Elizabeth's Greenacres shopping complex.
The mall will be anchored by Pick 'n Pay, Woolworths, Jetmart, Shoprite and a large variety of Banks. – Luyanda Makapela, BuaNews
