🚧UNDER CONSTRUCTION: The R3.2 billion private Afrikaans university in Pretoria East is currently being built on a 220-hectare site, and progress is powering on

They broke ground in January this year, and the first batch of students is expected to be welcomed in January 2028.

The campus includes: learning centres, a library, offices, an amphitheatre, coffee shops, a cafeteria, a student centre, lecture rooms and laboratories. There will also be a student residence housing 750 students.

These facilities will be used by 400 staff members and 2500 students daily.

This is a huge project; during ground earthworks in 2025, they removed 360,000 m3 of soil from the site. The campus infrastructure also includes:

• 40km fibre cables
• 23km of underground water pipes
• 19.3 million litres of water storage
• 30 000m2 tar for roads and parking

See the latest pics of the construction site below.

There is no shortage of moving parts in the world right now. The SA construction/building industry is feeling them. As a sector that depends heavily on imported materials, we are exposed when fuel prices rise, freight rates spike, currency volatility bites https://t.co/bGlsCJWxLU

OPENING SOON: Prince Buthelezi Mall in Northern KZN is officially opening month-end🛍️

•⁠ Size: 37 000m2
•⁠ Number of stores: 100
•⁠ Developer: Moolman Group
•⁠ Location: Empangeni, Portion 27 of Erf 11447 of Richards Bay
•⁠ 3 Drive-throughs: Steers, McDonald’s, Burger King

•⁠ Tenants include: Shoprite, Boxer, Checkers Liquor, Checkers Fresh X, Dis-Chem, Clicks, Bargain Books, UFO, Billabong, Crazy Plastics, Edgars, Roots Butchery, Clicks and Woolworths Food, Mugg & Bean, Milky Lane, Mr Price Home, Debonairs, KFC, King Pie, Nandos, Pedros, Spur, Panarottis, Polo, SENQU, Sorbet, Sportsmans Warehouse, Xpresso Café

Previously known as Greenhills Mall, the mall’s name change was in honour of Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi, a respected figure in Zulu culture who played a vital role in uplifting communities in KZN.

The developer is also investing over R70 million in upgrading the bridge, roads and infrastructure leading to Prince Buthelezi. When I chatted with Hannes Wagner, the CEO of STRUXIT, which is the civil and structural engineering firm for this section of the project, he said:

“What’s exciting here is that the infrastructure isn’t just supporting the mall - it’s setting up the entire area for future growth. When you invest properly in roads and access upfront, you create a foundation for real, lasting development.”

The grand opening will be celebrated on Thursday, 30 April.

A lot of these tenants will be opening up shop in the Empangeni and Richards Bay area for the first time ever. What are your thoughts on the opening of this mall?

Happy Freedom Day, South Africa! 🇿🇦
May this day continue to inspire progress, equality, and hope for generations to come.
