It is day two for the Ballito Junction and shoppers are streaming into the newly opened regional mall.
There have been no incidents today except for one false alarm where a shopper forgot where her car was parked and reported it stolen.
Despite the ANCYL protest march yesterday, opening day was otherwise smooth with people coming out in droves for the opening specials.
The special on flat screen TVs at Game and the many great deals at Checkers were some of the main attractions.

The staff of Checkers welcomed the regional mall with true South African flair.
Just before 8am as the first early bird shoppers were exploring the new mall, the sounds of happy singing turned all eyes to Checkers as their staff marched as one through the halls to open their new store.
