Listen "What the data says about retail access in South Africa"
Episode Synopsis
GUEST – Mohit Narotam, Managing Director of Lightstone Retail
Analysis from Lightstone Retail's data reveals an important insight into mall access in South Africa: 46% of the lowest-income households do not have access to a mall within 5km of their homes. To ensure consistency, the study defined eligible centres as malls anchored by a grocery store. Based on this definition, the findings highlight a stark access gap for lower-income communities alongside a concentration of choice among affluent households. Kaya FM
