Rocklands gets food truck, as SEFA meeting postponed again
Residents in Rocklands, Mitchell’s Plain are thrilled to do grocery shopping in the area again, following a fire that broke out at the Rocklands Property, in December 2022. The property housed Shoprite and several other businesses.
SCREENSHOT: Shoprite food truck stationed in RocklandsFood retailer, Shoprite, has returned to the area but in
the form of a food truck. The mobile food truck stocks myriads of products,
selling for R10 or less, for residents to purchase essential goods. Shoprite
also placed their soup truck at the site to serve residents a warm meal. The
mobile shop will operate weekdays from 08:00 to 17:00 and will trade
differently over weekends.
Meanwhile, a meeting between the Small Enterprise Finance
Agency (SEFA) and various stakeholders has been hit with yet another delay. The
agency was meant to hold a meeting on 11 May, to discuss plans on the future of
the Rocklands Property.
‘’The owners of the Shoprite building, SEFA, will provide
us with a meeting date in the foreseeable future. The meeting was previously
set for 11 May 2023, but due to logistical issues, they have requested more
time for a report back meeting,’’ said Daniel Christians, Ward 79 councillor.
