At 10:00 when the official opening function was supposed to start, some people who were supposed to be there were still stuck outside town and the mall high brass was locked into talks with those people who organised the blockade. Some of the reasons for the blockade are that the organisers of the blockade allege that too many people from outside Burgersfort received employment at the mall, that contracts around the upkeep of the shopping centre went to the businesses of family members of corrupt politicians etc. Platinum Gazette contacted the spokespeople of the development to react to these allegations, which was still awaited at the time of going to press. At the time of going to press everybody was waiting for the official opening function to start, while negotiations around the blockade were still underway. Reports of shots fired at the blockades and injuries sustanied, could not be verified before going to press.

Tubatse Crossing Regional Mall opened its doors to the public yesterday morning. By the time of going to press the official opening was still underway. The mall will host shops ranging from Pick n Pay, Shoprite, Game, Panarottis, Wimpy and various fashion stores. (All the information provided on these Tubatse Crossing Mall pages were provided by the various advertisers.)
Construction ran to a tight schedule. This was what motorists saw for most of the past few months.

Ms Helen Mohlala, Mr Lebo Makofane and Ms Petunia Mokgotho said: Many people will go to the new Mall. They wont go to the rest of town. People will be stuck in traffic, especially at the end of the month. Ms. Tebogo Moshoana said: There are a lot of people in Burgersfort. The people will split. Some will go to the Mall and others will go to the old shops. There will not be such big crowds in town any more. There will be less traffic in town but that crossing at the Mall will be a problem. Links: Me. Elize Kleinhans s: Baie mense gaan nog na die ou winkels kom want die verkeer by die Mall gaan n totale gemors wees. Ms Emily Moshwane and Ms Audelia Moshwane said: There will be too much traffic at the Mall and it will be too crowded. We think people will only go to the new Mall and not further into town to spend their money. It will be difficult for businesses further into town.
Mr Johannes Moropa and Ms Evika Mahlatji said: People will on the long term go back into town to shop, but for now people will go to the Mall because they think there are special stuff. Traffic will be worse than ever now that the Mall is opening.
Mnr Ruan Viljoen s: Die realiteit van die oomblik is dat besigheid n bietjie stiller sal wees in die dorp as gevolg van die Mall. As besighede in die dorp steeds goeie diens lewer sal hulle egter hul klinte behou. Die verkeer sal nou n nagmerrie wees. Dit is reeds erg en nou gaan dit erger wees.
Ms Aggie Mokgotho said: People will only spend their money at the Mall and will not come into town. Me. Drikie Myburgh s: Dit sal steeds There will only be bad traffic at the goed gaan met die besighede in die Mall and no longer in town. dorp. As dit baie besig is sal dit vir mense makliker wees om in die dorp na n winkel te gaan as om na die Mall te gaan. Die verkeer verby die Mall sal ook baie besig wees. By haar is Jean en Armand. Right: Ms Mary Letoka said: There will still be a big traffic disaster at that Mall/Steelpoort cross. Especially the clothing shops moved to the Mall. There will be less people and money coming into town.
Ms. Setty Mohlala said: Many people will rather go to the Mall. They must make another road or bridge from Bothashoek and Alvertons side to ease the traffic. There will be less customers in town. Only Supa Save will survive because the old people like them, but the rest will suffer.
Mr Ronald Kobe said: People will still go to the old shops. That Mall will be overcrowded. Most of us dont like these overcrowded shops. A Mall is also more expensive than the other shops. That Mall was not supposed to open before theyve finished constructing the road behind the Mall connecting to the Ohrigstad road. This weekend traffic will be a mess.
Mr Sepadi Swafo said: We like the new things. I would like to give the municipality a big applause for making shopping easier for us. People will now spend their money at the Mall and it will be difficult for the other shops in town to survive. That is why some of them has moved to the Mall. The traffic will be congested in town but the slipway to the Mall will ensure that the Mall traffic do not impact on the rest of town.
