“Definitely getting that bookshelf.”

“Thank you & congratulations to Mooka. This is one overdue agenda requiring tenacious discussion & intervention. The local government must aside small parcels of land for industrial and commercial developments. I am talking 1000sqm or less for direct selling to SME, not speculators.”
@Malose_Ranoto said:
“He is my home brother from Bela-Bela (Limpopo) and we used to go to church together.”

“Our people are trying and only if we had government to support us on a large scale. Tell the guy we are pleased and impressed.”
Township micro-flats: Kasi economy sees a boom in affordable property
Looking at a previous story regarding businesses, Briefly News posted that local township economies are seeing a boom in the real estate market with many recent property developers choosing to invest in affordable micro-flats.
The low-cost rental apartments are targeted at young families and professionals, hoping to make a new start in these fully re-furbished Kasi dwellings. Their earnings range from about R3 500 to R15 000.
The stunning units often have space for a bed, a cupboard and a table, including a bathroom with a toilet, sink and shower. Each unit also has its own geyser and an electricity meter box.
Young property developers have certainly seen a gap in the township market and it's expected these affordable living quarters will bring back great returns.
