CONSTRUCTION is yet to start at a site in Doonside between Seadoone and Umfuleni roads where a property developing company, AJ Property Holdings, announced back in 2021 that it is going to build a shopping centre.
At the time, the company’s director, Shaun Welgemoed, said they were in the process of addressing the relevant statutory approval requirements regarding the development and were engaging prospective tenants.
Responding to a reply about the progress, or lack thereof, AJ Property Holdings’ Laura Radford said
the shopping centre, to be named Kingsburgh Junction, will now open in October 2024.
A post on the company’s Facebook page regarding the development made in September 2022 said there had been growing anticipation surrounding the proposed development of Kingsburgh Junction.

“This amazing lifestyle centre is currently undergoing the necessary council approvals, and as soon as we know more, we’ll be sharing that information,” said the posting.
Available information reveals that Spar is going to be the anchor tenant in the sprawling 9 000m2 complex.
This is not the first time a new shopping complex has been mooted in Amanzimtoti. In 2003, a company led by billionaire property mogul, Vivian Reddy, was to build a 35 000m2, R360 million shopping complex called The Estuary at the Hutchison Park sports grounds. This would have meant establishing the rugby field, cricket oval, tennis court, and bowling greens elsewhere. While approval had been given by the eThekwini Municipality, Reddy’s company abandoned the project.
