The moment of truth is upon us after just 10 months in development.
Tambotie Mall, which was just a dream 40 years ago, and was realised on 15 April 2016 at the sod-turning ceremony with the cream of Randfontein gathered to witness the event, will be completed come Monday, 24 April 2017.

But for the pumped and eager residents at home thinking: “Where should I go first” or “Oh, it’s heaven, I wonder if I can stay forever?”, well, all these details will be revealed come the official opening, which will take place on Freedom Day, Thursday, 27 April.
During the Herald‘s latest visit to the mall on Tuesday, 4 April, George Papavarnavos (developer) said the finishing touches are being done, including paintwork, cleaning and moving tenants in.
For George, the number of big chain stores coming on board was a major highlight. He also praised everyone who had a hand in the project, from the pastor who blessed the location some time ago to the municipality, tilers, cleaners, contractors and local authorities.
“The co-operation from everyone has been astronomical. We appreciate everyone’s involvement and with just the nitty gritty things to go, we are looking forward to the opening and happy trading.”
Jimmy Pappas (the assistant developer) added, “We are satisfied and on target to meet the commitments we made to our town. We have gone from an empty dream to being well on the road to fulfilling the dream we see today.”
