Very good. Avoid Nigeria - coz as we speak you -3 billion dollars . Ford has given you 1B - Nigeria want 4B.

AfriqueDuZuid:
He said waterfall city is $0.2 billion

Munyaka crystal lagoons estate inside waterfall city is worth $0.650 billion

rvp2018:
Certainly not Nigerians. In phase 1 - of 150 plots -only 68 plots are still available - only 22 are under discuscion. The rest are already snapped. Obviously the companies are waiting for horizontal infrastructure before they move in. This tech city - the techies are introverted - they love such remote areas - see Silicon Valley.

rvp2018:
Konza started with purchase of land; fencing and securing of the land; the getting masterplan; done the best architect in the world;

Phase 1 - which is 400 acres - is about 50% don in horizontal infrastructure - and will likely get finished this year or next.

Then plots will be given out - there is already 800M dollars in committment.

The building of all the 400 acres should take 2yrs max - the land will not be sold - so expect huge uptake and conditions will include of course quickly building it.

So Phase 1 - 2023/2024 - it will be complete.

rvp2018:
There a lot to show in Konza - there is nothing of that sort in South Africa. This next Silicon Valley or Bangalore. This not a gated community for scared boers as crime get out of hand. That only development happening in South Africa - the gentrification - as white moves to the suburbs - leaving blacks to the center - like happens in the US in 1960s/70s - as result of racial integration.

That is pretty much all the action in Sandton, Waterfall and other suburbs.

rvp2018:
Why are the foreigners choosing Kenya - not Nigeria. Maybe the real threat of kidnapping? or crazy tax demands. Kenya will continue to lay the red carpet on such individuals - who come with their brains and connections - to create African silicon savannah. In fact if there was anything we should do - considering our very high HCI and quality of education - is to bring boatloads of those white intelligent men

rvp2018:
Ohoo please - you took what 30yrs to build Abuja! And still has some of biggest slums - and looks crap.

68816419:
This guys can't build shiit, Imagine Kenyans trying to replicate Abuja in Kenya?, That would be disastrous , even countries like Senegal and ivory coast already built new cities while that dead "kancer" still at it's start-up state and will never come to limelight.
Senegal new city

Shame on kenya

rvp2018:
Any emperical evidence you can quote.

rvp2018:
Konza is dry land - there is no tea - what you're seeing is grass - with road infrastructure laid in perfect squares as per the masterplan.

AfriqueDuZuid:
Konza lost it failed dismally now he wanna add a mall to the mix

Saddamochieng00:
I'll leave Shma to handle you. He knows how best to deal with samboro when she's on her periods

AfriqueDuZuid:
So we agree there's nothing there to show? So we can move on?

Are building material in kenya that expensive? That a billion dollar is just sewer lines, roads and broadband lines?

AfriqueDuZuid:
I'm showing what $0.2 does in south Africa

Vs

What a billion dollar does in kenya

I'm still waiting from therfore side

AfriqueDuZuid:
$0.2 billion

Waterfall city

rvp2018:
Nice glass facade...of tiny buildings.

AfriqueDuZuid:
All that for $1billion?

Lemme show you what $0.2 billion can do in south Africa

rvp2018:
2.4B RAND - is less than what Two RIvers have invested. Your country should be with Egypt out there doing really big stuff. But look at you - youre banding together with west africa - for misery love company

Egypt has we speak has overtaken you forever - and are building billion dollars worth of project.

Please shut up - and join west africans in their misery

rvp2018:
Of course - for now - South Africa is ahead of kenya - but looking at their future trajectory - mm - not for so long.

rvp2018:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm6veQKRPdA - Konza is not shopping mall - the Konza Secretariat office - one wing is completed - plus a data center.

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

A clear case of a dying project

rvp2018:
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

Which one is it?

Saddamochieng00:
Even Kilimani has more high-rises than that waterfall mall project.

AfriqueDuZuid:
You said post pictures of your $0.5 development

I'll post mine

Is that hard to do? Are you scared of losing?

Your numbers don't match the level of development?

Saddamochieng00:
I was here way before you knew a thread like this existed. And even then we were debating useful stuff not the rubbish the Ghanians carried over from the other thread.

rvp2018:
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.

rvp2018:
Again you've detoriated to Just30 madness level 001. That is just the start. If you want post pictures of your glass facade...go ahead.

rvp2018:
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 - and it largest private investment in South Africa. What happened to your country? I was thinking we are 15yrs below...see [b]maybe 10yrs[b]

rvp2018:
Let start from underground. You show me horizontal infrastructure first.

rvp2018:
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:
that was in 2020

Like I said post 20 building of Konza city

I'll post 20 buildings of waterfall city

Or are you scared of losing ?
