    COVID-19 has not had a negative impact on vacancies to date and we are seeing an
    increased demand for space due to this segment of the market being less reliant on       The current tenant profile of the Fund ensures that the income stream is of a high

     We have started classifying our tenants into essential, non-essential or SMME categories. The portfolio has a high percentage of essential tenants who contribute 45% of the net
     rental income every month and occupy 50% of the gross lettable area.

     Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, the SMMEs in particular are in for difficult times. In terms of the portfolio, the SMMEs/non-national tenants make up approximately 11.9% of the
     portfolio on a revenue basis.

     We will need to monitor the SMMEs closely in order to potentially assist them through the short to medium term. Our arrears process is proactive and designed to identify tenant
     stress before it becomes terminal, thereby assisting SMMEs in difficulty.

  The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
  has been evident in the communities
  surrounding the Community Property
  Fund shopping centres – where, in
  particular, there is a dire need for food
  parcels.

  To respond to this need, the Community
  Property Fund COVID-19 Food Parcel
  Project was set up. The first of the food
  parcel handovers took place to families
  in Carletonville and Mahikeng, on behalf
  of Gateway Mall (Gauteng) and The
  Crossing Shopping Centre (North West
  Province) in May. These were followed
  by handovers on behalf of Kuyasa and
  Motherwell Shopping Centres (Eastern
  Cape), Eyethu Orange Farm Mall,
  Alexandra Plaza and Heidelberg Mall
  (Gauteng), Mkhuhlu Plaza
  (Mpumalanga), and Bridge City
  (KwaZulu-Natal) in June.

  The initial goal of 1 500 food parcels has
  been achieved, and, based on the
  success of these initial donations, this
  project will continue for the next few
  months.
