The Boardwalk Mall in Nelson Mandela Bay has won the refurbishment/expansion category of the 2023 SACSC Retail Design and Development Awards.

Nestled along KwaZulu-Natal’s North Coast lies Ballito Junction. The original building, a Mediterranean-inspired shopping centre, is being reconfigured and refurbished to create a new mixed-use precinct with flexible workspaces that offers a diverse range of amenities and experiences.

Merino Mall opened at the end of October 2022 and significantly broadened shopping, entertainment and gatherings options – not only in Ermelo, but for communities within the large catchment area stretching as far as Pongola, Middleburg and Secunda.

Designed by MDS Architecture, the first phase of Boardwalk Mall opened in March 2022, with a variety of entertainment options and several tenants who traded while the second phase was being completed. The grand opening took place in September 2022.

Construction on the approximately R200 million Tshakhuma Mall in Limpopo is almost complete, and the mall is due to open on 28 September this year.
