Name of the Project
Ekhaya Mall project.

Location
Mpumalanga, South Africa.

Project Owner/s
Ekhaya Mall is developed by S-Identity Holdings and co-owned by S-Identity Holdings, Cashbuild South Africa and Nomatiki Trading Enterprise.

Project Description
The Ekhaya Mall will offer an estimated 14 000 m2 of retail space and will be developed in phases.

The first phase will be 10 600 m2, expanding by 2 050 m2 in the second phase and a further 1 350 m2 in the third and final phase.

The mall will feature a retail and a medical component.

The project will add turning lanes, sliproads and reinstate public transport lay-bys. It will also introduce traffic signals to the intersection of the R580 and R546, the main roads into Embalenhle from Secunda and from Evander and Standerton respectively. It will also create easy access directly into the mall from both roads.

A new 17-taxi-bay facility will also be built at the mall.

Potential Job Creation
The project is expected to create about 960 temporary local labour jobs during its construction phase on and off site – and an estimated 390 permanent jobs, in retail employment and the management of the mall, when it opens.

Capital Expenditure
The project is estimated at R216-million.

Phase 1 will cost about R172-million to develop.

Preparation work for the mall began in September and construction on the mall started in October 2019. The mall is expected to open its doors in the last quarter of 2020.
