A new 42,000m² shopping mall called Leratong City Shopping Centre with 89 shops will open on 29 October 2026 in Kagiso as the first part of the R5 billion Leratong Smart City Development. It is a partnership between Gauteng Provincial Government, Mogale City Municipality, Trendville Investments and McCormick Property Development, and is part of Gauteng's plan to build self-sufficient Mega Cities with housing, shops and services along transport corridors instead of scattered projects. The full smart city will eventually have 15,000 houses, a commercial precinct and a private hospital. The mall itself has Pick n Pay, Shoprite, Boxer, Clicks, Sportscene, Mr Price, KFC, McDonald's, Panarottis, Milky Lane and others. McCormick, which has built 88 malls like Alex Mall and Acornhoek, built it. It created 1,096 construction jobs and the full city is expected to create 2,500 permanent jobs, though that depends on later phases. Mayor Lucky Sele said he wants to see more cranes and redevelopment in the C*D.
