INVESTIGATIVE REPORT Just-Ice retail park, owned by Mopani Holdings, is nestled at the outskirts of the Acres central business district (CBD). It provides customers with groceries, confectionery, a hair salon, pharmacy, restaurant, clothing shops, and two automated teller machines. For the past five years, the retail park has made a good profit, with annual revenue of about R30 million. However, on 30 January 2026, the retail park manager began to receive emails regarding the non-renewal of lease agreements by some tenants. In addition, some tenants complained about low profits in their business and negotiated for the reduced rental rates. The non-renewal of the lease agreements led to 50% of the shops being vacant. You are the Chief Operations Manager for Mopani Holdings, and it is your responsibility to liaise with the retail park manager to ensure business operations are satisfactory. At the meeting held on 01 March 2026, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Ms Khameli, requested that you investigate the challenges that led to the non-renewal of the lease agreements and to the low profits in the retail park.
