The Executive Mayor of Mangaung Metro Municipality, Cllr. Thabo Manyoni, wants to thank all the business people who are

involved in the development and rejuvenation of the Bloemfontein CBD.

“In recent times I have noticed the huge investments that a number of the private developers have made towards the upgrading of a number of buildings within the Bloemfontein CBD.

I would like to use this opportunity to thank you for the confidence that you have shown in the City by investing in the development of various new offices and/or businesses in Bloemfontein.

Furthermore, I would also like to point out to you that your investment is in line with the city’s vision in rejuvenating the CBD and keeping it economically vibrant. In this regard it is worth noting that the City will be investing an amount of nearly R 75 000 000 into various projects during the 2014/15 financial year in order to rejuvenate the CBD.”

I will be monitoring all the these and upcoming developments to check if they are in line with my vision since assuming the office, in my endeavour of build a world class city.”

Some of these notable developments in the CBD include:
