Fair warning to all potential Centre point /Mowana properties victims :

To any business considering renting space at Centre Point in Milnerton, I would strongly suggest exercising caution. In my experience as a tenant, the Centre has faced significant operational and management challenges under its joke of a “management” team, Mowana Properties, and the building owners, PIC (Public Investment Corporation). These challenges have had a noticeable impact on foot traffic, tenant stability, and the overall business environment.

The following issues are as follows: •Lengthy application process: The application process alone is unnecessarily lengthy and drawn out e.g. By the time the management respond/receive your 3-month bank statement it would have expired, requiring you to repeat the process •Poor management: Due to the poor management (or lack thereof) from Mowana Properties, and the Landlords – PIC (Public Investment Corporation) I have personally witnessed 10+ businesses forced to leave Centre point including the anchor tenants Ignite gym and Pic‘n Pay , leading to a massive decline in overall foot traffic •Frequent lift and escalator outages: Prolonged breakdowns have made it difficult for customers to move through the building and for suppliers to make deliveries, raising concerns about maintenance and infrastructure reliability. •Ongoing network and connectivity problems: Persistent mobile signal issues have made standard business communication extremely difficult. I understand that additional network infrastructure has been “in progress” for several years, yet the problem remains unresolved. Perhaps Mowana staff should check if the Network technicians perhaps got lost on the roof •Limited marketing allowances: Centre marketing is restricted to small 90’s style clipboard displays placed in low visibility areas, which significantly limits exposure for new or small businesses trying to build awareness. •Poor communication and slow response times: Queries and maintenance requests directed to Mowana Properties often go unanswered or receive only minimal acknowledgement, without follow through.

These are just a few points resulting in the, Collapse of the Centre, closure of many small businesses and even worse - at the cost of the (GEPF) Government Employees pension fund. I share this feedback in the hope that it assists other business owners in making informed decisions. In short - You’d be better off running your business from a ****a shop!!!
