Contractor takes over Egodini site
BULAWAYO City Council (BCC) has handed over the Egodini site to project developers after reaching a deal with property owners whose premises will be demolished to pave way for the construction of a mall.
Council handed over the site to Tearracota Trading Private Limited (TTPL) which won the tender to build the $60 million Egodini Mall last Thursday.
In compliance with council’s resolutions, TTPL is expected to move on site within 30 days of handing over the project.
Responding to questions sent by Chronicle, BCC senior public relations officer Mrs Nesisa Mpofu said council handed the site as per its December resolution.
She said council agreed on swap deals with two property owners at Egodini.
“There were only two properties which were not council’s properties and Council has agreed terms with them. As such two properties have agreed on a stand swap deal,” she said.
“The swap saved council a lot of money as payments in cash would have meant that council should secure mortgage finance which is very expensive. The swap acted as the much needed deposit of the purchase price.”
