Most of them have to take connecting taxis from Nkanini to the Site C taxi rank before they take another taxi to their destinations. &#8220;It is going to develop our infrastructure and make it easy for our motorists,&#8221; says Nethi. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> He explains that their mandate as the KDF is to monitor the project and ensure everything goes smoothly. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nethi says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pa.org.za\/organisation\/kdf\/\">KDF<\/a> endorses everything that brings change to Khayelitsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We believe our local business people will benefit in the construction of the interchange. We will ensure that they are prioritised,&#8221; saysNethi. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ward 98 councillor Andile Tetani says the project started in May and is expected to be completed in 2028. He says the interchange will be built in phases.  &#8220;We are busy with the first phase where we are levelling the ground and then will put underground infrastructure. Then build up the structures. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This is going to be a drop off. There will be shelters for informal traders as well and a few offices,&#8221; explained Tetani, adding that the interchange will accommodate Taxis, buses (Golden Arrow and My Citi). \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the objective is to make Khayelitsha a business hub.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A leader of the Khayelitsha Development Forum (KDF) welcomed the
