History
Eastgate was Johannesburg's first 'super-regional' shopping centre. When it opened in 1979, it was the largest shopping centre in the southern hemisphere. It remains one of the largest centres in the country, and is the fourth largest shopping centre in the Gauteng, after Sandton City , Mall of Africa and Menlyn Park. The centre lies next to the R24 airport freeway, between the Johannesburg CBD and O. R. Tambo International Airport.
Stores include Woolworths, Edgars, Checkers Hyper, Ster-Kinekor cinemas, Dion, and Stuttafords. A R300,000,000 expansion was completed in 2010, which brings Eastgate to 122 000m². It is owned and developed by Liberty Life. It is managed by Liberty Properties, on behalf of the parent company Liberty Life.
Eastgate Shopping Centre is frequented by over 80 000 shoppers on Saturdays, over 2 million shoppers a month. The shopping centre offers Bureau de change facilities. Major retailers include one of the most successful Woolworths in South Africa. The centre's 250 stores include over 60 fashion boutiques and 13 jewellers.
Unusually for a single complex, the building straddles the municipal boundaries of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality, and Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality, however, in 2013, the boundary was adjusted by the Municipal Demarcation Board to move Eastgate fully into Ekurhuleni.
