Taung to get major mall

Taung, a small town in Northwest, will have a R98 million shopping mall in April 2013. The development is a joint operation between Vildev Group and Eris Property Group. The enclosed mall's architectural look and feel consists of a blend of modern finishes, combined with quiet earth tones and stone-rock inlays.

The groundbreaking ceremony was held this week with Chief BP Mankuroane joining Cas De Villiers, director, Vildev Group, Barend de Loor, director new developments, Eris Property Group and Mayor Koane Lobelo, amongst others, in turning the soil.

The Taung Shopping Mall will be 9000m² and will include tenants such as Boxer, Jet, Edgars Active, Total Sport, Exact, Bears, Ackermans, Studio 88 and Markham. It is ideally situated on the main road, next to the taxi rank. The upgrade of the existing taxi rank will be completed by February 2013, which will include a new bus terminal and this will have a positive effect on the opening of the centre. The changes will allow the development to offer a one-stop convenience for shoppers, who will no longer have to walk to the CBD for their shopping.

Future Eris Property Group projects include the development of South African shopping centres in Vryburg, Phuthaditjhaba and Benoni Mall and one in Tsumeb, Namibia.
