Ballito Junction is poorly laid out, has no AC, and is very sketchy.

I had a terrible experience at Junction. The mall itself is fine even though it has no AC except for in the individual shops... unless there is loadshedding, but the people who linger around it make the experience unpleasant. I felt unsafe walking around because of the sketchy individuals who were loitering around the mall entrance and parking lot. It's clear that the mall doesn't take security seriously, and it's not worth risking your safety to shop there. I would not recommend Ballito Junction to anyone looking for a safe and enjoyable shopping experience. Go to Gateway rather.
