AfriqueDuZuid:
Rvp and his fellow countryman has failed to bring up a single building of Konza!

There is nothing to show, a clear case of throwing in cash in dollars to hype things up wink

A clear case of a dying project
PoliticsRe: Kenyans Are Far Behind Nigerians In Every Aspect – Fani-Kayode by rvp2018: 4:36pm On Jul 10, 2021
Cladding building in glass facade is not investment. This real investment in the future of Kenya. Annually we are putting 2.4B rand in there - about what you have invested in waterfall since 2008!!!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2blL9-kC78
AfriqueDuZuid:
LOL there's nothing to show for the billion dollar you say was invested

And that's a fact

From what I see its either your government lied it said it put in a billion dollar in

Or

The project has already failed wink

Which one is it?
PoliticsRe: Kenyans Are Far Behind Nigerians In Every Aspect – Fani-Kayode by rvp2018: 4:25pm On Jul 10, 2021
No, I lost interest, when I discovered it mere 2.4b rand investment. That may not even excite Somalia. Maybe we go to Durban - and see what they go there.

Picture of what? Konza city is on many levels above your 2B rand little city; You want to see pictures; then do Waterfall and Two Rivers. Two Rivers investment dwarf Waterfall. Just mere 2.5B rand grin grin grin grin - and it largest private investment in South Africa. What happened to your country? I was thinking we are 15yrs below...seem maybe 10yrs.

So btw 2020 - underground and with COVID - you've been busy at Waterfall. Mere 2.4B dollars. That is a joke. Two RIver City has INVESTED MORE THAN THAT.

I told you - many times - you broke country is BROKE. It;s just Nigeria gov that is unaware and is trying to shake more money from a dying tree.

AfriqueDuZuid:

Like I said post 20 building of Konza city

I'll post 20 buildings of waterfall city smiley

Or are you scared of losing wink ?
PoliticsRe: Kenyans Are Far Behind Nigerians In Every Aspect – Fani-Kayode by rvp2018: 4:15pm On Jul 10, 2021
I have put many links showing you that 5,000 acres initial bought has been extended with 3 counties that lies adjustment each creating 10KM buffer and donating it to Konza to avoid mushrooming of slum like infrastructure.

So this going to be a massive city. That a proper city.

AfriqueDuZuid:
I don't see anywhere stating otherwise
PoliticsRe: Kenyans Are Far Behind Nigerians In Every Aspect – Fani-Kayode by rvp2018: 4:09pm On Jul 10, 2021
LOL - I knew it was just glass facade - Total investment in Waterfall is mere 2.4B rand (0.17B dollar). This the annual budget that is spend on Konza.

Comparing two glass facades with shopping center - with KONZA TEHNOPOLIS smiley smiley - that is approaching maybe 1B dollars investment by gov alone.

https://businesstech.co.za/news/business/378619/waterfall-city-developments-top-r2-4-billion-including-a-massive-new-warehouse-for-nespresso/

Including pre-development capital expenditure, inventory, assets and the value of the Sanlam joint-venture in Waterfall Junction, the city’s total development value is sitting at R2.4 billion, up slightly from R2.3 billion at June 2019.

This year alone - Konza will spend that much 2.4B rand to continue with horizontal infrastructure.
Ksh.16B
Konza City budget: Konza City allocated Ksh. 16B in 2020/22 financial budget. Konza's allocation is 77% that of the ICT ministry.Jun 11, 2021

PoliticsRe: Kenyans Are Far Behind Nigerians In Every Aspect – Fani-Kayode by rvp2018: 4:05pm On Jul 10, 2021
I bet Konza city total investment in horizontal infrastructure dwarf that 300 acre city - that more like Two Rivers.
Konza investment so far is more than 0.5B dollars.

I'll come with 20 from waterfall city

Differentiate what - I clearly told you there 1) Vipingo RIdge - and 2) Across it is Vipingo development - which 4,000 acre city by Centum

This is Vipingo Development - 4,000 acres upcoming city.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbT3gU1UBx0

The entire prime area - has sisal estate - of 22,000 acres - so there is huge scope - to create modern city

Nope that's a golf estate!

At least Kenya is trying to match up with South Africa - all you're doing is trying to kiss their. arse online and shake their companies offline for rand - which they don't have.

You are ranting like a real lunatic - what has 10, 5g got to do with anything. Each of the city have a character. Some are targetting shopping commercial experience like Two Rivers. Some have industrial compoment at it core like Tatu and Northland. Some have vacation and holiday home like Vipingo. Some are tech or smart cities like Konza city.

AfriqueDuZuid:
LOL wait a minute grin

Is that it? The much hyped Tatu

The 21st century city?

The city being built in the time of 10k, 5g connection?

I really doubt that waterfall was started in 2016 smiley

Here are the facts -Attacq acquired Waterfall development rights in June 2008

Konza was mooted in 2008 - and I think land bought in 2010-2012.

9 year old Konza vs 5 year old waterfall city

Yes I am sure you have 10,000 acres of estate in South Africa. That size of Vipingo by Centum alone. There is the vipingo golf estate with airstrip that is complete...so combined both will be close to 15,000 acres.
AfriqueDuZuid:
Vipingo is an estate by south African standards wink
North land city grin, let's wait after 5 years

Actually Waterfall is like Tatu city - it nothing compared to Konza city. You do not have anything like that planned - because your country is visionless - and the economy will be stuck in middle class rut forever.
AfriqueDuZuid:
Two rivers is smaller to fourways development wink

We have many similar projects developed around a mall, I know it's new to Kenya but that we've been having for years wink

Welcome to the game[s] wink
PoliticsRe: Kenyans Are Far Behind Nigerians In Every Aspect – Fani-Kayode by rvp2018: 3:12pm On Jul 10, 2021
Waterfall is just like Tatu city, Two Rivers, Northland city, Vipingo city - those are private sector.
So outside education - your gov has no plan to create a technology focused city - like Silicon valley or Bangalore
And you are still excited about shopping malls.
AfriqueDuZuid:
When I say tenants I'm not talking about mall stores I'm talking of companies, schools and so on.

South African education sector just piloted Coding and robotics as part of the school curriculum wink

Also entrepreneurship as one of school compulsory subjects wink

In terms of devices Covid was a blessing for the sector as it speed up the rate of the roll out, currently rural schools are being connected to free wifi. wink
PoliticsRe: Kenyans Are Far Behind Nigerians In Every Aspect – Fani-Kayode by rvp2018: 3:04pm On Jul 10, 2021
Compare waterfall with Two River city in Nairobi. Both are 300 acres kind of project by private sector - social or shopping cities.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ych7v3rkVw

Konza city is massive gov funded city - that will be at completion 90,000 acres. That is nearly 500 times more waterfalls.

You cannot compare the two - Konza Techno City - is only COMPARABLE maybe to one in Egypt - Smart City of Cario.

AfriqueDuZuid:
do you need pictures of 5 year old waterfall city buildings?

And you show your 9 year old Konza city buildings?

What is South Africa gov doing in Tech Sector to prepare your country for 21st Century - NOTHING. Now you're back to Shopping malls.
AfriqueDuZuid:
Same way you funded that's rail from Mombasa to Nairobi you can find it that way.

OH again for a loaners to be approved you need guarantees that the project will reap rewards.

Or maybe Kenya cannot guarantee that? wink

Which companies will be tenants at konza? I only know Korean research institution

Is Waterfall being built by South Africa gov? Or what exactly is the issue here? 300 acres is like Two RIvers City - which is well on course

Some Africa countries like Ghana and Nigeria are just hopeless. They shout China (who offer the best development LOAN comparable to imf/wb - almost zero rated) but look at how much they have ramped up Eurobond - and interest there is a killer - nearly 8-10 percent for Ghana.
