What will the impact of the new mall be?

Mr Johannes Moropa and Ms Evika Mahlatji said:“People will on the long term go back into town to shop,but for now people will go to the Mall because theythink there are special stuff. Traffic will be worse thanever now that the Mall is opening”.

Mnr Ruan Viljoen sê: “Die realiteitvan die oomblik is dat besigheid ‘nbietjie stiller sal wees in die dorp asgevolg van die Mall. As besighedein die dorp steeds goeie diens lewersal hulle egter hul kliënte behou. Dieverkeer sal nou ‘n nagmerrie wees.Dit is reeds erg en nou gaan diterger wees”.

Ms. Tebogo Moshoana said: “Thereare a lot of people in Burgersfort.The people will split. Some will go tothe Mall and others will go to the oldshops. There will not be such bigcrowds in town any more. There willbe less traffic in town but thatcrossing at the Mall will be aproblem”.

Ms Helen Mohlala, Mr Lebo Makofane and Ms PetuniaMokgotho said: “Many people will go to the new Mall.They won’t go to the rest of town. People will be stuckin traffic, especially at the end of the month”.

Ms Emily Moshwane and Ms Audelia Moshwane said:“There will be too much traffic at the Mall and it will betoo crowded. We think people will only go to the newMall and not further into town to spend their money. Itwill be difficult for businesses further into town”.

Ms Aggie Mokgotho said: “ Peoplewill only spend their money at theMall and will not come into town.There will only be bad traffic at theMall and no longer in town”.

Links: Me. ElizeKleinhans sê:“Baie mensegaan nog na dieou winkels komwant die verkeerby die Mall gaan‘n totale gemorswees”.

Me. Drikie Myburgh sê: “Dit sal steedsgoed gaan met die besighede in diedorp. As dit baie besig is sal dit virmense makliker wees om in die dorpna ‘n winkel te gaan as om na die Mallte gaan. Die verkeer verby die Mallsal ook baie besig wees”. By haar isJean en Armand.

Mr Sepadi Swafo said: “We like thenew things. I would like to give themunicipality a big applause formaking shopping easier for us.People will now spend their moneyat the Mall and it will be difficult forthe other shops in town to survive.That is why some of them hasmoved to the Mall. The traffic will becongested in town but the slipwayto the Mall will ensure that the Malltraffic do not impact on the rest oftown”.

Mr Ronald Kobe said: “People willstill go to the old shops. That Mallwill be overcrowded. Most of usdon’t like these overcrowded shops.A Mall is also more expensive thanthe other shops. That Mall was notsupposed to open before they’vefinished constructing the roadbehind the Mall connecting to theOhrigstad road. This weekend trafficwill be a mess”.

Ms. Setty Mohlala said: “Manypeople will rather go to the Mall.They must make another road orbridge from Bothashoek andAlverton’s side to ease the traffic.There will be less customers intown. Only Supa Save will survivebecause the old people like them,but the rest will suffer”.

Right: Ms Mary Letoka said: “Therewill still be a big traffic disaster at thatMall/Steelpoort cross. Especially theclothing shops moved to the Mall.There will be less people and moneycoming into town”.

The Tubatse Crossing Regional Mall opened its doorsyesterday. This long anticipated Mall is bringing shopsto the area that had never been available before.It is also set to change the economic spending patternas well as the traffic dynamics in Burgersfort. Willservice and convenience ensure that shops in the towncentre survive the impact of the new Mall?We asked readers what they think the impact of thenew Mall will be on things like traffic, other shops in thearea and where the money will go.
