BETHAL – A brand new mall will open in Bethal in the central business district (CBD), near the N17 highway on the corner of Moses Kotane Street and Church Street on 25 November.

Baytower Properties 225 (Pty) Ltd is the developer of Bethal Mall and the Myriad Group is consulting on behalf of them.
Ms Louise McGowan of the Myriad Group said the location of the new mall is the key advantage as it forms the gateway into Bethal.
“The currently operating bustling taxi rank is a major attraction and will be a contributing factor to the success of the development.
“The existing taxi rank will be upgraded and will be incorporated in the shopping centre.
“All roads that feed from the informal settlements merge at the site and is said to b e the beginning and end of such transportation hub.
“Because of the fact that the site forms part of the CBD and is not situated out of town, the development will enjoy constant business and foot flow from all residents of Bethal.”
