As KwaTsaduza residents celebrated the grand opening of iTonka Square, the African Reporter spoke to community members to hear their thoughts on the new shopping centre and what it means for residents in the area.
Grace Gharitsi: I have been walking around in awe of how beautiful iTonka Square looks. We are spoiled for choice with the multiple shops – shops that we had to travel all the way to Springs for, but now we have them closer. I will be coming here very often. Photo: Buhle Matsoele
