By April 2025,the anchor supermarket Pick n Pay was ready for opening.

MAK BOKANO CONTRACTING

The shopping complex was developed by the Mining Industry Pension Fund (MIPF) in Shurugwi which is historically a mining town. The project (approximately US$7–8 million in value) was conceived to revitalise Shurugwi’s economy, which had been set back from the collapse of mining companies and the subsequent infrastructure neglect.

This long-promised shopping mall began as a bold idea in 2013, when the town council entrusted Inductoserve Holdings with a plan for a three-storey complex complete with a supermarket, bank halls, retail shops and even a council-run “mayor’s bar.” Contracts were signed; ground was broken late that year.

However, a string of funding shortfalls and logistical setbacks stalled work twice, leaving half-finished foundations and idle equipment. By 2017, the council’s patience had run thin and it was going to reclaim the site unless progress resumed.

Nothing changed, till five years later in August 2022, when the Mining Industry Pension Fund (MIPF) stepped in. The pension fund, which manages retirement assets for mine workers, had been diversifying into real estate, and it took up Shurugwi Mall as a strategic investment.

Tasked with diversifying its assets and stimulating local growth, MIPF relaunched the project under its own banner, treating the mall as part of Zimbabwe’s broader Vision 2030 push for urban renewal and smart-city development.

With nearly 8 million U.S. dollars drawn from pension reserves and designated as a prescribed asset under regulatory guidelines, the fund cleared legal hurdles and licenses, hired architects and contractors and set an ambitious deadline: to open by the first quarter of 2025.

The architects HBN Simela Architects, drew up plans for a sleek, open-air centre built to blend durability with daylight. Exposed brick and concrete facades give way to wide glass fronts and a steel-framed canopy of skylights drapes the central courtyard in soft, natural illumination.

Shops line broad, tiled corridors, while designated kiosks outside offer space for local artisans. The anchor tenant, Pick n Pay, has its spot on the ground floor, flanked by banking halls and smaller retail units. Behind the scenes, designers specified low-maintenance finishes and energy efficient lighting, signalling an eye toward long-term sustainability even as they met pressing community needs.

Mak Bokano’s role as the main contractor on the Shurugwi MIPF Shopping Mall was defined by precision planning and strong execution from the outset. Site establishment began in November 2022 and lasted two months, during which time Mak Bokano ensured the seamless mobilisation of equipment, materials and skilled labour.

Temporary structures, including site offices, work sheds, and accommodation for staff, were constructed efficiently to support the full duration of the build. With the groundwork laid and all support systems in place, the project officially commenced in January 2023.

The bulk earthworks phase presented one of the most complex challenges due to the steeply sloped terrain and the presence of a natural stream dissecting the site. Mak Bokano’s team expertly cleared the land, removed vegetation and undertook extensive cutting and filling operations to sculpt a level platform suitable for large-scale commercial development. Retaining walls were constructed to hold back earth along the steeper inclines, and canalisation of the stream was carried out with care to ensure proper water flow without compromising the design or structural integrity of the mall.

Structural work unfolded next, with a solid combination of strip and pad foundations anchoring the buildings. The mall’s framing system brought together reinforced concrete frames with brick infill panels and a hybrid roofing system using structural steel and timber, clad in durable Chromadek sheets.

High-spec materials, including steel beams, aluminium,and various grades of brick, were carefully integrated throughout the build. This phase also included the installation of plumbing and electrical containment, along with windows and door systems that combined glazed aluminium shopfronts with pressed steel frames and timber doors, all finished with high-quality ironmongery. Finishes and final touches brought the project to life.

Externally, a blend of face brick cladding, plaster, paint, and Chromadek finishes offered both durability and visual appeal.

Internally, porcelain floor tiles were laid across all retail spaces and walkways, while toilets and back areas were fitted with plasterboard ceilings or vinyl-clad ceiling tiles in a suspended grid.

Mechanical and electrical installations included solar geysers and mechanical ventilation in restrooms, plus standby generators or uninterrupted operation. Notably, Mak Bokano accommodated specific tenant requirements, such as double-sealed factory lite roofing for Pick n Pay and plinths for their HVAC and refrigeration systems.

The challenging topography, proximity to the highway and railway line and integration of natural water features make this project a standout example of thoughtful engineering and refined execution.

The MIPF has reported that roughly 120 local residents found jobs during construction and councils expect that number to swell now that the shops have officially opened their doors. Tenancies are already under negotiation: the anchor tenant Pick n Pay’s branch opened in late April 2025, drawing its first customers.

Three commercial banks have committed to hall space, while a cluster of smaller outlets will occupy the corridors.

Outside, the mayor’s bar which has been rebranded as a community café, will channel proceeds back into town projects, just as planners first envisioned. The pension fund expects to recoup the outlay through rental income and asset appreciation.

Lease revenues from the tenants and numerous shops should provide steady yields over time. For Shurugwi residents, the mall is a promise that they will no longer need to travel 50 kilometres to Gweru for basic goods or banking services.

MIPF now has its eye on Gokwe next, hoping to replicate Shurugwi’s model in another growth centre.

Few units are still available so get in touch with them if you want to be a part of this community.

BROWN ENGINEERING COMPLETES HEAD OFFICE EXPANSION FOR A TECHNOLOGY CLIENT

Text By Martin Chemhere

The skyline of Eastlea, Harare has been further enhanced by the striking extension of a technology companies’ double-storey structure in Eastlea. The building boasts a contemporary facade of tinted glass and high-end Hulabond aluminium composite cladding in a sophisticated charcoal and white. This architectural statement not only exudes an appealing presence but also reflects the dynamic commercial landscape of its surroundings.

Brown Engineering played a pivotal role in realizing this vision, undertaking the crucial task of installing the entire structural steel framework that underpins this impressive expansion. The design philosophy of the original head office, conceived by Architect Nyatsanza, drew inspiration from the logical and interconnected world of computer science. Just as computer components work in synergy to create a unified machine, the building's form and function emphasized a cohesive and integrated design.

The extended office structure, with its newly installed steel framework by Brown Engineering, was meticulously planned to connect seamlessly with this foundational concept, ensuring a harmonious architectural language and a unified sense of functionality across the entire expanded facility. This careful consideration of the existing architectural context underscores the collaborative approach adopted throughout the project.

Images By Caast Media Group

Brown Engineering's contribution to the head office extension was comprehensive, encompassing the complete structural steel framework. This involved a multi-stage process, beginning with the precise erection and alignment of robust steel columns.

These columns serve as the primary vertical load-bearing elements, providing the essential stability for the new structure. Following this critical stage, Brown Engineering's skilled team expertly installed the intricate network of steel rafters. These rafters were meticulously engineered to provide optimal support for the roof and efficiently distribute its weight across the underlying structure.

The final phase of Brown Engineering's work involved the secure fixing of the roof sheeting, ensuring a durable and weather-resistant covering for the newly extended office space. This holistic approach to the steel installation formed the fundamental skeleton upon which the entire extension was built.

"The core rationale behind the steel installation project at the head office extension centred on the strategic creation of vital warehousing facilities and supplementary office areas," explained Shepherd Tshalibe, the experienced Site Manager from Brown Engineering overseeing the project.

This expansion was a direct response to the burgeonin needs of a company experiencing significant growth. The provision of additional warehousing space addresses the increasing demands of their operations, while the new office areas offer the necessary infrastructure to accommodate a growing workforce.

The specific steel structures expertly installed by Brown Engineering formed a fundamental structural framework. This involved the precise placement and secure connection of robust vertical columns, which provide the primary vertical support for the entire structure. Interconnecting these columns was a network of carefully engineered horizontal rafters, designed to support the roof and distribute its load effectively.

"Furthermore, the project incorporated the installation of a mezzanine level, effectively introducing an intermediate floor that maximizes the usable space within the expanded structure, thereby further enhancing operational efficiency," added Tshalibe.

This mezzanine level provides valuable additional space without increasing the overall footprint of the building, demonstrating efficient space utilization in line with modern commercial design principles. To effectively address any logistical or technical challenges that arose on site, Brown Engineering adopted a proactive and collaborative approach, working in close partnership with the civils contractor involved in the broader construction project.

This close coordination proved invaluable in ensuring the efficient flow of materials to the site, optimizing site access for machinery and personnel, and guaranteeing that the steel erection process seamlessly integrated with the ongoing civil works.

This spirit of collaboration was crucial in proactively identifying and resolving any unforeseen issues, thereby maintaining the project's momentum and ensuring adherence to the demanding schedule. For the intricate steel installation process, Brown Engineering utilized a range of specialized equipment and techniques.

A crane played a vital role in the safe and efficient lifting and precise placement of the heavy structural steel components, ensuring accuracy and speed in the erection process. To guarantee the structural integrity and precise alignment of the steel framework, the team employed highly specialized laser measurement devices.

These advanced tools were used to meticulously verify the plumbness of the vertical columns, ensuring they were perfectly upright and capable of bearing the intended loads. Additionally, laser technology was employed to check the linearity of the horizontal beams and rafters, ensuring they were perfectly straight and aligned as per the design specifications.

This commitment to accuracy and the use of advanced technology underscores Brown Engineering's dedication to delivering high-quality and structurally sound installations. The actual steel installation work on the head office extension commenced on the 3rd of March and was successfully completed by the 4th of April.

This relatively short timeframe highlights the efficiency and expertise of the Brown Engineering team. Currently, the project is in the snagging phase, which involves a detailed inspection to identify and rectify any minor imperfections or outstanding items before the final handover to the client.

"Brown Engineering fostered strong collaboration through bi-weekly site meetings. These regular gatherings facilitated effective communication and coordination among the client, consultants, and other contractors involved in the head office extension project," stated the site manager.

These regular meetings served as crucial platforms for open dialogue, allowing all stakeholders to stay informed of progress, address any concerns promptly, and ensure that all aspects of the project were aligned and moving forward smoothly. This commitment to clear and consistent communication was instrumental in the successful execution of the steel installation phase.

The steel installations utilized a carefully selected range of structural steel sections, each chosen for its specific load-bearing capabilities and suitability for its intended application within the framework. These included various types of Universal Columns (UC), such as the UC203x203, which are commonly used for vertical load-bearing members.

Additionally, different sizes of Universal Beams (UB) were employed, including UB457x191 and UB406x140, which are typically used for horizontal structural elements like rafters and floor beams. All the steel materials and specifications adhered to relevant Zimbabwean and international standards for structural steel, ensuring the safety, durability, and longevity of the installed framework.

This project holds significant importance for Brown Engineering's portfolio and its ongoing contribution to industrial development in Harare and Zimbabwe as a whole. "This project signifies excellence in all aspects of industrial development, as we have been involved in industrial, commercial, educational, recreational structures," affirmed the site manager. Brown Engineering's extensive track record encompasses a diverse range of successful projects across various sectors, including industrial facilities that drive economic growth,

commercial buildings that facilitate business activities, educational institutions that support learning and development, and recreational structures that enhance the quality of life. This latest undertaking at the Eastlea project further solidifies the company’s reputation as a reliable, capable, and committed partner in the nation's infrastructural advancement. The company is consistently delivering high-quality steel installations, thereby actively contributing to the development of robust, functional, and aesthetically pleasing spaces

that underpin economic progress and enhance the built environment throughout Zimbabwe.While the steel installation phase of the head office extension is now complete and the project is currently in the snagging phase, the formal handover to the client has not yet taken place. The anticipated handover of the completed steel structure is targeted for the first week of May 2025. This marks the culmination of Brown Engineering's significant contribution to this important development.
