A taste of Africa
If there is one person who can be singled out for his role in the gentrification of Gugulethu in the Western Cape, it is most probably Mzoli Ngcawuzele.
With his property development company, Ngcawuzele has made his mark specialising in projects aimed at the renewal of townships.
Some of the big projects he has been involved in include the Kuyasa shopping centre in Mdantsane in East London, the Central Park shopping centre in Bloemfontein, the Metlife Mall extension in King William’s Town, the Gugulethu Square shopping centre and the 3 500sqm shopping centre currently being planned for Middledrift in the Eastern Cape.
He also owns the butchery restaurant Mzoli’s Place, which has become a favourite hangout for locals and a must on international tourist itineraries.
Ngcawuzele, thought to be the best Western Province 5000 metre and 10000 metre athlete in the late ’70s and early ’80s, ascribes his success to his love for people and the discipline he learnt during athletics training.
