New Tibani mall aims to boost local economy
Due to open in August 2018, the 11,500m² Tibani Shopping Centre in Polokwane is being developed by GMI Property Group.
Tibani Shopping Centre
The centre is situated 70km from Mokopane (formerly Potgietersrus) along the R567 near Tibanefontein, one of the villages which forms part of the cluster making up the rural Tibani area. The nearest major town is Polokwane, 60km away.
500 residential stands are planned next to the shopping centre site in Tibanefontein. This project is known as the Juno Demarcation Project and is under the auspices of the Department of Housing.
Shopping centre tenants
Tibani Shopping Centre has been designed over one level with 52 shops and close on 400 parking bays. Shoprite and Cashbuild are the anchor tenants with Shoprite planning a 3,000m² store. Other brands opening in the centre include Ackermans, Tekkie Town, Furn 4 U, Russells, Sleepmasters, AutoZone, AlphaPharm, Alera Hair, Checkers Liquor, Jet, Pep, Pep Cell and Capitec. Food outlets include ChesaNyama, KFC, The Fish and Chip Co and Debonairs Pizza.
“Tibani Shopping Centre will bring sorely-needed modern retail facilities to people restricted to rural shopping options, unless they are prepared to make the long commute to the nearest town," says Gavin Tagg, CEO of Retail Network Services, the retail and leasing specialists to the project.
“The centre will also provide a safe and pleasant meeting place for the Tibani community.”
