After more than two decades of stagnation, the Marite community is finally witnessing a significant transformation. The long-standing struggle for development has yielded positive results, with a major project underway: the construction of a new mall. The long-awaited development is now in motion, bringing hope and excitement to Marite’s residents.
The construction, set to begin in early 2025, will include a Sasol petrol station already built as part of the project. The new mall will extend from the site of the old marketplace to Kilden’s. As part of the development, some houses will be demolished, but residents affected by the project have been given the option to relocate to homes of their choice. They can choose between having the government purchase new houses for them or build new ones.
The Marite community is thrilled about the mall, as it represents more than just a shopping destination. It symbolizes a new era of progress and opportunity, with expectations of job creation and economic growth. For many, the mall will bring much-needed change, offering amenities and services that were previously unavailable.
In addition to the mall construction, the community has made strides in enhancing safety. Crime has been curbed significantly thanks to a local patrol team dedicated to keeping the area secure. Their efforts have reassured residents that the construction process will proceed smoothly, free from disruptions due to criminal activities.
The upcoming development is a testament to the resilience and perseverance of the Marite community. As they look forward to new job opportunities and improved living conditions, the mall is poised to make a meaningful difference in the lives of many.
