GENERAL NEWS News Briefs Chirundu Mall on track for official opening By Michael Hughes and Julien Matoka The residents of Chirundu in Zambia can now look forward to the opening of another one of Time Project’s developments which will be Chirundu’s first ever shopping mall with retail space of 4 700m² anchored by Zambia’s most popular supermarket, Shoprite. The mall is barely two months away from its official opening on 26 April 2018. Heavy rains have hampered the completion of the external works and the main contractor, Zhengtai Construction, has been battling the elements to ensure that the programme remains on track. By Julien Matoka Shoprite has started its shop fit-out and the shelving and joinery fittings are being installed. Tenanting is on track with leases for Pep and Jet having been signed. The signed-up tenants occupy 73% of the lettable area.
