What do you think about ...
WHAT do locals think of plans to build a R50-million commercial centre in Ezibeleni? The Rep intern Abongile Solundwana and Maria Louw High School pupil, Jozanne Rooi, who is spending a few days job-shadowing at The Rep, asked people in the streets what they thought about the proposal.
Abongile Thiba from Ezibeleni
It’s good news as people could then go to the mall whenever they want to and not have to worry about taxi fare and transport.
Miriam Ngamntu from Ezibeleni
I feel great about this, because we will not have to take transport to come to town to do grocery shopping or to withdraw money from the banks.
We will save money and we will be able to shop on Sundays.
Abulele Tetiwe from Ezibeleni
It would be a great foundation from which to boost Ezibeleni’s economic status and it will attract people to come to Ezibeleni and ensure a saving on transport costs.
Akhanya Baleni from Ezibeleni
It’s a good initiative and it will help a lot of people who struggle with transport.
Azola Neti from Ezibeleni
It will change lives and old people will not have to travel. There will also be more job opportunities.
Douglas Bambiso from Mlungisi
It will affect Queenstown in terms of business. The majority of Ezibeleni people will not come to the local malls any longer and as a result we, the taxi drivers, will lose money.
