Implosion will beginning or regeneration works in South Africa’s West Capital.
The Tshwane Metro Council is planning to implode the problematic Schubart Park flats to make way for a new housing project and shopping complex which will form part of the West Capital initiative.
It is expected that the West Capital project – which will link the inner city with Marabastad – will inject millions of rand into the city’s economy.
It is not clear when the project will begin and when the planned implosion will take place.
One of the projects identified by the municipality as part of the West Capital initiative is the provision of accommodation for students.
The sites identified by the municipality for the development of the accommodation are in Struben, Potgieter, Schubart, Bosman and Boom streets and are currently used by a number businesses which include a panel-beating workshop, a scrap yard (for the council’s emergency vehicles), a pharmacy and a car parts outlet.
