Prominent Chiredzi businessman Simbarashe Chikonzo is constructing a mega shopping mall just across Zuva Service Station at Tshovani township.
The shopping mall, Chikonzo said, will comprise a supermarket, hardware and stalls.
Cikonzo who owns Chlosteel hardware in Chiredzi said the construction which started in July this year is expected to be complete early next year.
“The shopping mall is a two storey; we will have various outlets ranging from hardware, supermarkets and clothing shops on the ground floor while the first floor will be used for offices. There will be 16 offices. We started construction in July this year and we expect to complete before year end. If all goes well the mall will open its doors to the people early next year,” said Chikonzo.
The 41-year-old businessman however could not be drawn into disclosing the total cost of the mega mall but a rough estimate indicated that Chikonzo invested over $380 000 on the project so far.
“I have so far used over $380 000 on this project and it is difficult to estimate how much is needed to complete the mall. We are now into final touches and we hope that will not gobble much,” Chikonzo said.
Chikonzo has managed to construct a number of shops in Chiredzi town over the past few years.
