As big as the location is, it has only 1 clinic, library, satellite police station, 3 secondary schools, 4th one currently under construction but near completion and 5 primary schools. The municipality announced in early 2016 that they will build a shopping complex in the location between Extension 14 and Extension 15, which will be called Bophelong Mall.
