The R388 million project, known as Ntuzuma Junction, is being developed by Exemplar Retail and AJ Property Holdings, with an opening targeted for April 2027.

The shopping centre will be anchored by two major grocery retailers, Boxer and Shoprite, giving residents access to everyday essentials under one roof.

Other retailers expected to open at the centre include:

The development is also expected to include healthcare, technology, cellular and other convenience retailers.

According to the developers, the aim is to provide a mix of affordable shopping, essential services and food outlets that cater to the needs of the surrounding community.

Ntuzuma Junction is planned as a two-level shopping centre with approximately 17 000m² of retail space.

The shopping mall will be built in Ntuzuma G, an area with a large residential population and strong demand for formal retail facilities.

The development’s research estimates that approximately 119 500 people live within its main catchment area, spread across around 29 000 households.

The area has an estimated annual per capita income of R33 100 and retail buying power of approximately R1.5 billion.

The site also benefits from its position along key local roads, with traffic volumes estimated at between 700 and 1 000 vehicles per hour.

Existing taxi and bus routes are expected to make the centre accessible to residents who rely on public transport.

Ntuzuma Junction is targeting an opening in April 2027.

The developers have indicated that municipal approvals have also been secured and that several national retailers are progressing through their approval processes.
